Voting systems testing improvements provision
This bill requires Minnesota election officials to test voting systems at least ten days before absentee ballots are used. It mandates specific testing procedures to verify systems correctly mark and count all ballot types - including those using assistive technology - and reject invalid votes. The tests must be observed by election judges from different parties, open to the public, and include pre-audited ballots with predetermined results. After testing, detailed precinct reports must be made publicly available within 24 hours. The bill directly affects election officials managing voting systems in Minnesota.
