HF 2595 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Election judge provisions modified.

HF 2595 modifies Minnesota election judge procedures for ballot handling. It requires two election judges to verify the count of prepackaged ballots before voting begins, noting any discrepancies in an incident log. The bill also mandates that two judges initial the backs of all ballots before voting starts, without otherwise marking the ballots. These changes directly affect election judges in Minnesota precincts during elections. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 204C.09, subdivision 1, focusing on procedural accuracy during ballot processing.
