Bill > HF2073

This bill makes numerous modifications to Minnesota's election administration laws, covering a wide range of topics related to voter registration, absentee voting, election judge appointments, ballot processing, and administrative procedures. The bill changes various timelines, adds new requirements for chain of custody documentation, modifies procedures for voter registration and absentee ballot handling, updates rules for election judge recruitment and training, and adjusts municipal and county election processes. Notable changes include allowing election judges more flexibility in travel between jurisdictions, requiring county auditors to develop comprehensive chain of custody plans, expanding opportunities for voter registration and absentee voting, modifying ballot processing procedures, and adjusting deadlines for various election-related activities. The bill also transfers the balance of the existing voting equipment grant account to a new voting operations, technology, and election resources account and repeals a few existing statutes related to voting equipment grants and ballot inspection. These modifications aim to streamline election administration, enhance voter accessibility, and improve overall election procedures and security.
