Polling place closure and change notice required until occurrence of a presidential election or redistricting.
HF 2361 requires local election officials in Minnesota to provide notice when a polling place location changes. It mandates that affected households (with at least one registered voter in the precinct) receive a mailed notice at least 25 days before an election, and that a physical notice be posted at the closed polling place in large print, multiple languages, and visible to drive-through voters. These notices must remain in place until the next presidential election or redistricting occurs. The bill directly affects voters in precincts where polling locations are altered and requires specific notice procedures for all primary and general elections during this period.

A minor update also changed the posting date to reflect the current legislative session timeline.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to cover special elections in addition to primary and general elections regarding polling place notice requirements.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement to post notices about changed polling places now explicitly includes special elections, whereas it previously only applied to primary and general elections.
TIMELINE
The document header and posting date were updated to reflect the transition from the bill's introduction to its first engrossment status.
