Election judge party affiliation classified as public data on individuals.

HF 595 makes the major political party affiliation of election judges publicly accessible data in Minnesota. The bill requires appointing authorities to maintain and publish a list showing each election judge's party affiliation (or if they don't affiliate with a major party), classifying this as "public data on individuals" under state law. This replaces a previous restriction that limited such information to other election judges for verifying party balance requirements. The change directly affects election judges (individuals appointed to oversee voting) and allows any member of the public to access this information through official records.
