Established as part of the 1972 Constitution, the Local Government Review election is required every 10 years. This is an opportunity for citizens to review their county’s and city’s power and form of government and to make recommendations for improvements in their structure of government.
In the 2024 primary, the majority of voters indicated Gallatin County, Bozeman City, and West Yellowstone Town governments should be reviewed. Thus, study commissions will be formed to study the form of each of these governments. The study commission members for each of these government reviews will be elected in the 2024 general election. Each of the study commissions will investigate, analyze and recommend the form of local government that they believe should be adopted for the local government they studied. Their recommendations will be proposed to the voters by November 2026.
