Constitutional amendment proposal to establish term limits for the office of governor

SF 1437 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota governors to two terms in office. If approved by voters, it would amend Article V, Section 2 of the Minnesota Constitution to state that "a person elected twice to the office of governor is no longer an eligible candidate." The amendment would be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election with a ballot question asking whether the constitution should be amended to limit governors to two terms. This change would apply to all future governors, though the bill specifies that elections prior to 2026 must also be considered under the new term limits.
