Montana Democratic Party v. Jacobsen

Docket number
DA 22-0172, DA 22-0667
Date

Held that laws eliminating election day registration, limiting the forms of acceptable identification for voting, and placing additional burdens on young voters violated the state constitution. Held that when a law minimally burdens the right to vote, but does not impermissibly interfere with it, a “middle-tier” of scrutiny is appropriate.
