After much litigation, Montana Public Interest Research Group v. Jacobsen (the RNC intervened in the case) has been resolved.

Two provisions of a subsection of a voter registration statute will not be enforced, consistent with a preliminary injunction subsequently affirmed by the Ninth Circuit: “A person or elector may not purposefully remain registered to vote in more than one place in this state or another state any time, unless related to involvement in special district elections. A person or elector previously registered to vote in another county or another state shall provide the previous registration information on the Montana voter registration application provided for in 13-2-110.”

Other portions of the statute, including “An elector may not vote more than once at an election,” and “A person or elector may not vote in this state more than once at any election held in this state or vote in both this state and another state or territory in the same or equivalent elections, except in a special district election in which a person or elector is entitled to vote,” will remain in effect (and were not challenged in this litigation).
