Various laws related to election administration modified, absentee voting requirements and procedures modified, timelines modified, notice with absentee ballot applications and sample ballots required, and filing period for certain local offices modified.

HF 2428 modifies Minnesota's election laws to update absentee voting procedures, requiring that nongovernment entities sending absentee ballot applications must include a notice and sample ballots. The bill sets specific deadlines for absentee ballot applications (requiring them to be received at least seven days before an election if not submitted in person) and adjusts election administration timelines. It also changes the filing period for candidates seeking certain local government offices. These changes directly affect voters, election officials, and organizations distributing absentee ballots, aiming to standardize processes while improving voter information access.
