A Montana judge has issued a ruling that prevents the state from restricting voter registration on Election Day, according to court documents.

The decision allows Montana residents to register to vote on the same day as elections, overturning previous state limitations on this practice.

The ruling comes as various states have implemented different policies regarding Election Day registration, with some allowing same-day registration while others require advance registration periods.

Details about the specific legal challenge, the parties involved, and the judge's reasoning for the decision were not immediately available. The ruling's impact on upcoming elections in Montana remains to be determined.
