SF 2490 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Voter history access in a timely manner improvements provision

This bill (SF 2490) amends Minnesota Statutes section 201.171 to improve how voter registration status is updated based on voting history. It requires county auditors to post voting history within 52 days after each election, and the secretary of state to automatically mark voters as "inactive" in the statewide system if they haven’t voted in four consecutive years. Voters marked inactive must re-register to vote in future elections, but late/rejected mail ballots still count toward maintaining active status (though not for public voting history lists). The change directly affects Minnesota registered voters whose voting patterns lead to inactive status under the updated process.
