The Montana Constitution requires local governments to ask their citizens to review local government structures every 10 years to decide if the existing form of government meets that community's needs. Ballots will be mailed to Gallatin County residents in May for election day on June 4.
At the Friday Forum, Ashley Kent, Associate Director at the Local Government Center at MSU, will discuss a brief history of this feature in the Montana Constitution. Forum participants are encouraged to submit questions and comments in advance via Zoom registration.
