Bill > HF2361

This bill modifies Minnesota's election laws to enhance voter notification when a polling place is closed or relocated. Specifically, the bill requires local election officials to send a nonforwardable notice to households with registered voters at least 25 days before an election if their polling place has changed, which was previously existing practice. The new provisions add requirements that local officials must also post a large-print notice at the closed polling place, if practical, and at locations where voters typically vote from their vehicles. The notice must be posted in all languages required for that precinct and must remain in place until the next presidential election or until redistricting occurs. This ensures that voters are comprehensively informed about polling place changes and can easily find their new voting location. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 204B.16, subdivision 1a, and aims to improve voter accessibility and communication during election processes.
