Certain duties related to ballot reconciliation and postelection review required to be completed before a canvassing board may certify its report on the results of an election.

HF 913 requires local canvassing boards to complete two specific election-related tasks before certifying election results. These tasks are ballot reconciliation (as defined in Minnesota Statute §204C.20) and postelection review (as defined in §206.89). The bill directly affects canvassing boards, which are local election officials responsible for verifying election results. It amends Minnesota Statutes §204C.31, subdivision 3, to mandate that certification cannot occur until both processes are finished. This changes the procedural timeline for election certification without altering voting rules or affecting voters directly.
