Nongovernment entities mailing prefilled absentee ballot applications prohibition provision

This bill prohibits nongovernmental organizations from mailing prefilled absentee ballot applications in Minnesota, affecting groups that distribute election materials to voters. It requires any entity sending these applications to include clear disclaimers stating the mailing is not an official government communication and that the application has not been requested by a government official. The law also mandates that the return address on the envelope must show the sender's name and street address, and it ensures that fields for joining the permanent absentee voter list remain blank for applicants to fill out themselves. Government entities and their employees remain exempt from these requirements when performing official election duties.
