Constitutional amendment proposal to provide for free, fair, and equal elections

SF 1070 proposes adding a new constitutional provision to Minnesota's state constitution, requiring all elections to be "free, fair, and equal" and prohibiting civil or military authorities from interfering with voting. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the amendment would take effect January 1, 2027, and apply to all statewide and local elections. The bill does not change current election laws but establishes a constitutional standard for election integrity. It directly affects all Minnesotans participating in elections by embedding this requirement into the state's fundamental law.
