Election judge party affiliation classification as public data on individuals

SF 644 makes election judges' major political party affiliations public data in Minnesota. The bill amends state law to require appointing authorities to maintain and publish a list showing each election judge's party affiliation (or if they don't affiliate with a major party), which will be accessible to the public. This replaces a previous restriction that limited access to this information only among election judges for verifying party balance requirements. The change directly affects election judges by making their party affiliation part of public records, while repealing the prior rule that restricted its disclosure. The bill does not alter voting procedures or election outcomes.
