SF 3097 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain special election timing modification

SF 3097 amends Minnesota law to extend the timeframe for scheduling special elections on county ballot questions. It changes the current 74-day deadline to 84 days after a county board adopts a resolution to hold such an election. This directly affects county boards seeking to place questions about spending, debt, or taxes on the ballot, giving them more time to schedule the election. The bill modifies the existing election timing provisions in Minnesota Statutes section 375.20 without altering the substance of what can be voted on.
