The Montana Secretary of State's office is sending out post cards to residents announcing a new election security program.

"To do this is just trying to push people to be outraged about something that's not really a problem," said a political science professor in Billings.

The Transparent Election Initiative, an anti-dark money group, on Thursday filed with the Montana Secretary of State two ballot initiatives that aim to prevent corporate political spending. The filing came just two days after the state Supreme Court found an earlier version of the initiative legally insufficient.

Anyone who wants to get a ballot measure in front of Montana voters in the 2026 elections has until mid-June to turn in thousands of signatures from registered voters.

Less than 48 hours after the Montana Supreme Court stopped a first-of-its-kind constitutional measure that would prohibit corporations from spending money on political candidates or ballot issues, the Transparent Election Initiative in Montana resubmitted a revised proposal that its leaders said honored the court’s ruling and simplified the motion.

There’s a growing field of Democratic candidates challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke in the race for Montana’s western U.S. House seat.

A ballot proposal to limit campaign spending in Montana is blocked from advancing. The state’s high court Tuesday ruled it doesn’t pass legal muster.

Midterm elections are still months away, but the race for Montana’s western congressional district is already heating up.

Top court unanimously says first-of-its kind measure violates ‘single-subject’ rule; group says it’ll re-file the proposal.
