Certain voting provisions modification
SF 2697 modifies Minnesota's election administration rules, primarily affecting voters registering on election day and residential facilities. It expands election day registration by allowing registered voters to vouch for up to eight residents in their precinct (e.g., in nursing homes or shelters) using a sworn statement, while requiring residential facilities to provide employee lists to county auditors 20 days before elections. The bill also clarifies election judge party affiliation rules, adds reporting requirements for election day registration, and specifies acceptable proof of residence. These changes directly impact voters seeking same-day registration, residential facility operators, and election judges handling registration at polling places.
