Libertarians get rep on MT co. election committee

Libertarian Party, college student to get seat on Missoula County's Election Advisory Committee ~ Missoula Current - Martin Kidston:

April 4, 2018 - "Missoula County commissioners approved changes to the by-laws governing the Election Advisory Committee on Wednesday, though the newly created positions will have to wait for a vacancy.

"The seven-member committee, currently comprised of several at-large members and one representative from both the Democratic and Republican parties, will be joined by a member of the Libertarian Party and a student representative from higher education.....

"The EAC is comprised of seven citizen volunteers appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to study the efficiency and effectiveness of the electoral process. The stated goals include advocating for fair and open elections and increased public participation.

"The committee has included one member from both the Democratic and Republican parties, though they’ll be joined by the Libertarian Party when a vacancy opens.

"'They (EAC) felt a party that has a central committee should have a seat,' [Dori] Brownlow, [director of the county’s development district], said. 'The number of members on the EAC will stay the same. When they have a vacancy, they’ll ensure it’s filled by those new members.'"
