Canvassing access to multiple unit buildings by candidates and census workers standards modified.
HF 2709 modifies access rules for census workers and political candidates in apartment buildings (multiple unit dwellings). It requires buildings to permit access between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily for both groups, mandates 24-hour prior notice for entry, and encourages owners to notify residents when census workers or candidates plan visits. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes sections 2.92 (census access) and 211B.20 (candidate access), updating existing provisions without changing who may enter or the core access hours. It directly affects apartment building managers, census workers, and political candidates seeking voter contact. The changes focus on standardizing notice requirements and operating hours, not altering eligibility for entry.
