HF 4352 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certification by presidential candidates and political party chairs that the candidate satisfies all eligibility requirements of the United States Constitution required.

This bill requires presidential candidates and political party chairs to certify that their candidates meet all U.S. Constitution eligibility requirements. It affects presidential and vice-presidential candidates running in Minnesota, as well as the chairs of major political parties. The law mandates that major party candidates submit a notarized affidavit confirming constitutional eligibility, while write-in presidential candidates must include a similar certification on their filing request. The bill also updates procedures for how write-in votes are recorded in some local jurisdictions and requires party chairs to certify that candidates have no conflicting office filings. These changes take effect immediately upon final enactment.
