Research draftList not marked certified

Research draft. We gathered this from official sources on October 27, 2026: election offices, state laws and court records, each linked to its source. Separate reviewers checked a random sample of 48 facts from the ballot-measure research against the cited sources and found no errors. The rest hasn't been reviewed fact by fact yet, so check the linked source before relying on anything here.

§2Where this list comes from

The list above comes from these official sources. Researched October 27, 2026.

None of them calls the list certified or final, so we don’t either.

§3Notes on the research

What the research couldn’t find or confirm, in its own plain words. Nothing is left out silently.

  • The Montana Secretary of State's website (sosmt.gov, including the ballot issues page) answered with a firewall block page, so we could not read the official list of certified ballot issues, the certified ballot form, the Voter Information Pamphlet or the full measure texts; the list is not marked certified. A single request at a slower pace on 2026-10-27 got a Cloudflare challenge.
  • The Montana Department of Justice website (dojmt.gov), where the Attorney General's ballot-statement reviews are posted, answered with a browser-verification challenge, so we did not use it.
  • The list of measures comes from one official county sample ballot (Powder River County, Town of Broadus precinct), which prints CI-132, CI-133 and I-194 as the only statewide ballot issues; statewide issues should be the same in every county, but we could not check another county's ballot or the state's own list.
  • The yes and no sentences rest on the ballot statements printed on that sample ballot and on current statutes, not on the full measure texts, which we could not reach.
  • We could not confirm whether I-194's petition sets its own effective date; the threshold text gives the default October 1 date from state law.
  • The sample ballot is a scanned document with no text layer; we read it from the page images and text recognition.
