A group of Montanans have been given the go-ahead from the State Supreme Court to begin signature gathering on a measure that would change Montana’s two-party primary election process. The group, Montanans for Election Reform (MER), is proposing a system where the top 4 primary vote-getters, regardless of party, move on to the general election. A companion measure would then require that a candidate garner at least 50-percent of the vote to win.
