Minnesota Elections Integrity Act

SF 1586, the Minnesota Elections Integrity Act, requires photo identification for both voter registration and voting in Minnesota. It creates a state-issued voter identification card (available without fee for those needing it for voting) and establishes provisional ballots for voters without ID. The bill also mandates ID verification for individuals assisting voters at polling places or acting as agents for absentee voters, while increasing criminal penalties for certain election-related violations. These provisions apply directly to all Minnesota voters participating in elections. The bill takes effect June 1, 2026.
