The intent of the legislature is to establish a nonpartisan youth voting program that will:

1. (1) provide the youth of Montana with practical experience in the democratic process;
2. (2) increase the likelihood that Montana's youth will participate in the process as adult voters and encourage the participation of more parents in elections;
3. (3) not benefit any elected official, candidate for elective office, political party, campaign for or against any ballot issue, or any proposed ballot issue attempting to qualify for placement on a ballot; and
4. (4) be entirely funded through private donations.

History: En. Sec. 2, Ch. 348, L. 1991; amd. Sec. 4, Ch. 481, L. 2007.
