Bill > SF2232

This bill proposes various modifications to election administration procedures in Minnesota, affecting multiple aspects of voting and election processes. The bill updates requirements for electronic rosters, absentee voting, candidate filings, and ballot procedures. Key changes include extending filing periods for municipal and school district candidates (effective January 1, 2026), modifying absentee ballot application deadlines, and creating new requirements for non-governmental entities sending absentee ballot applications or sample ballots. For absentee voting, the bill allows more flexible delivery methods in healthcare facilities, adjusts application submission timelines, and expands options for emergency response providers and voters with disabilities. The bill also introduces new transparency requirements for non-official election mailings, mandating that such mailings include clear statements indicating they are not official government communications. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to election judge appointments, combined polling place procedures, and ballot board operations. These modifications aim to streamline election processes, provide more accessibility for voters, and ensure clearer communication about election-related materials.
