Bill Summary
A bill for an act proposing an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, article I, by adding a section; providing for free, fair, and equal elections.
AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would explicitly guarantee free, fair, and equal elections, with a specific prohibition against any civil or military power interfering with citizens' right to vote. The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking voters whether they support amending the constitution to provide for free, fair, and equal elections and prohibit interference with voting rights. If ratified by voters, the amendment would become effective on January 1, 2027, and would be added as a new section to Article I of the Minnesota Constitution. The ballot title for the proposed amendment would be "Free, Fair, and Equal Elections," and voters would be asked to vote "Yes" or "No" on the proposed constitutional change, which aims to provide additional constitutional protection for electoral processes and voting rights.
