Secretary of state required to prepare and distribute a voter information guide prior to each statewide general election, and rulemaking authorized.
This bill requires Minnesota's secretary of state to create and distribute a voter information guide to every household with registered voters before each statewide general election. The guide must include voting eligibility requirements, registration deadlines, and forms for absentee ballots, while also being available in English and the three most common non-English languages spoken in the state. The legislation prohibits anyone from creating campaign materials that look deceptively similar to the official guide and authorizes the secretary of state to seek court orders or fines against violators.
