Requirements established for polling place designations for school district special elections in districts with boundaries that include more than one county.
This bill updates election procedures for Minnesota school districts that span multiple counties, specifically regarding special elections. It requires these districts to establish at least one polling place in each county where over 5,000 registered voters live, based on the most recent general election data. Additionally, the bill mandates that voters receive detailed notices by mail at least 14 days before the election, including information about the election date, location, and financial details regarding the cost and savings of using combined polling places. The notices must also be posted on the school district's website, though exceptions apply for certain election dates or mail-only ballots.
