New precinct boundaries have been established for Richland County after the adoption of the 2023 Legislative Districting Plan. Section 13-3-102 (1), MCA, requires that precinct boundaries conform to legislative boundaries following the adoption of a districting and apportionment plan under Article V, Section 14 of the Montana Constitution.
The Legislative redistricting plan was determined by the Montana Districting and Apportionment Commission. The new plan divided Richland into two House and two Senate Districts. The division mainly follows along Highway 200 and the Yellowstone River, with some variations closer to the Sidney area. The redistricting split Precinct 7 (Lambert area) into Precinct 7A & Precinct 7B.
House District 30 and Senate District 15 is mostly north of Highway 200 & Highway 23, this includes Precincts 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 17, 19, 22, 23, and Precinct 7A.
House District 33 and Senate District 17 is mostly south of Highway 200 and Highway 23 and east of the Yellowstone River, this includes Precincts 5, 9, and Precinct 7B.
The new precinct map is available on the Richland County website, Richland.org/elections.
