New Season Of PBS Reports To Premiere Sept. 12

The third season of Montana PBS Reports: IMPACT

will premiere with a new episode Sept. 12.

The episode examines two proposed amendments to the Montana Constitution. The first, Constitutional Initiative 126, would end the practice of each political party having its own primary ballot and create a system where all candidates appear on the same ballot, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election, regardless of party. The second amendment examined in the episode, CI 127, would make it so candidates would need a majority of votes to win an election, rather than a plurality as they do now.

The episode will also report on the upcoming election for two new Montana Supreme Court justices and the election for the clerk of the Supreme Court.

Viewers can watch the new episode on Sept. 12 live on television, online at montanapbs.org/live or on the Montana PBS Facebook page at facebook.com/MontanaPBS.
