State primary date changed from August to May, and date of primary elections conducted by a political subdivision changed in certain circumstances.

HF 2343 changes Minnesota's state primary election date from August to May, affecting all voters participating in statewide primary elections. It also modifies the timing for primary elections conducted by local political subdivisions (like cities or towns) under specific circumstances. The bill amends multiple election statutes to implement these date changes, including sections governing primary scheduling and polling place operations.
