1972 Montana Constitutional Convention

The 1972 Montana Constitutional Convention, colloquially known as the Con-Con, took place in Helena, Montana, at the state capitol from January 17 until March 11, 1972. 100 delegates, including 58 Democrats, 36 Republicans, and 6 Independents, represented the state of Montana with the goal of creating a new state constitution. The constitution proposed by the convention was signed by all 100 delegates on March 24, 1972, before being sent to the voters for ratification. In June 1972, Montanas agreed to ratify the new document by a margin of 2,532 votes (50.55% of the vote).
