Sims (1964) US Supreme Court decision, every state had to redraw state electoral districts to be approximately equal in population. Before Reynolds, the Montana Senate consisted of 50 members from a mix of single- and multi-member districts. After the ruling, the Montana Senate had to shift to equally populated electoral districts.A Guide to the Montana Legislature Montana Legislative Services Division https://archive.legmt.gov/content/about-the-legislature/2017guidetomontanalegislature.pdf In 1972, the voters of Montana ratified the current Constitution of Montana, establishing the structure of the state senate that is still used today: 50 senators each elected from a single-member district.Elison, Larry M. and Snyder, Fritz.

This setup made sure not all senate seats were up for election at once. The election coincided with United States national elections and Montana state elections, including U.S. House and Montana House.1974 - Primary Election: Returns for Legislative Candidates by Districts Montana Secretary of State https://sosmt.gov/Portals/142/Elections/archives/1970s/1974_Legislative_Primary.pdf?dt=15234773332191974 - General Election: Returns for Legislative Candidates by Districts Montana Secretary of State https://archive.org/details/returnsbydistric1974montrich/page/1/mode/1up Following the previous election in 1972, Democrats held a 27-to-23-seat majority over Republicans.Montana State Legislature: Party Control: Majority and Minority Party Numbers 1889-Present Montana State Legislature https://archive.legmt.gov/civic-education/facts/party-control/1972 - Primary Election: Returns for Legislative Candidates by Districts Montana Secretary of State https://sosmt.gov/Portals/142/Elections/archives/1970s/1972_Legislative_Primary.pdf?dt=15234773332191972 - General Election: Returns for Legislative Candidates by Districts Montana Secretary of State https://sosmt.gov/Portals/142/Elections/archives/1970s/1972_Legislative_General.pdf?dt=1523477333219 Democrats increased their majority in the legislature to 30 seats, while Republicans held 20—giving Democrats a net gain of three seats.
