The Montana Lieutenant Governor is the first person in the order of succession of Montana's executive branch, thus serving as governor in the event of the death, resignation, removal, impeachment, absence from the state, or incapacity due to illness of the governor of Montana. The lieutenant governor performs the duties provided by law and those delegated to him/her by the governor. However, the lieutenant governor cannot be delegated any duties specifically granted to the governor, as per the state constitution.

The lieutenant governor welcomes international visitors when the governor is unable to do so, serves on a number of state committees, and assists on a number of administration policy initiatives. Additionally, the lieutenant governor provides advice and counsel to the governor.

The governor and lieutenant governor are nominated and elected as a team, not separately.

The current officeholder is John Bohlinger.

Qualifications

• 25 years of age or older at the time of election
