Certification by presidential candidates and political party chairs requirement that the candidate satisfies all eligibility requirements of the United States Constitution

This bill requires presidential candidates and political party chairs in Minnesota to certify that each candidate meets all U.S. Constitution eligibility requirements (such as age, citizenship, and residency) before appearing on the ballot. It amends election statutes to add this certification requirement to affidavits for presidential elector nominations (Section 204B.07) and party certifications of candidates (Section 208.03). The key mechanism is mandating a written declaration in nomination paperwork, ensuring candidates formally affirm constitutional eligibility. This directly affects all presidential candidates seeking Minnesota’s electoral votes and their party chairs during the nomination process.
