Yellowstone County, Montana, elects three County Commissioners in partisan elections. All of the elections are at-large. However, the county divides itself into three districts for purposes of the residency of the candidates. Hans Abbey, an independent candidate for that office this year, collected signatures throughout the county, but the elections office says only signatures from residents of hit residency district may sign the petition. Abbey has sued to win a ruling that all voters in the county may sign. See this story.
