SF 4080 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Election judges assisting a voter outside of a polling place handling only one voted ballot at a time requirement provision

This bill requires election judges who assist voters outside polling places to handle only one voted ballot at a time. It directly affects election judges helping voters who cannot enter polling locations due to mobility issues. The key provision adds a new requirement to existing election assistance procedures, ensuring judges manage ballots sequentially rather than simultaneously. This change applies specifically to voters who vote from their vehicles and receive help from two election judges from different political parties. The legislation amends Minnesota Statutes section 204C.15 to include this operational guideline for ballot handling.
