SF 2143 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Term limits provision for governor and lieutenant governor

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota governors and lieutenant governors to two total terms in office. If approved by voters in 2026, the amendment would take effect for elections beginning in 2030, preventing any person from being elected more than twice to either office. The amendment would require voters to approve the change at the 2026 general election with a specific "Yes/No" question about term limits. It does not affect current officeholders or elections before 2030. The measure is procedural and requires voter approval to amend the state constitution.
