Term limits placed on the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, and constitutional amendment proposed.
This bill proposes amending the Minnesota Constitution to limit the governor and lieutenant governor to two consecutive terms, preventing them from seeking a third term. The amendment would also maintain existing requirements that candidates be at least 25 years old, U.S. citizens, and residents of Minnesota for one year before election. If passed by the legislature, the amendment would be submitted to voters for approval at the 2026 general election. The change directly affects current and future candidates for these executive offices by restricting their ability to run for re-election beyond two terms.
