HF 931 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requirements related to certain mailings containing an absentee ballot application or sample ballot sent by or on behalf of a committee or other private organization provided.

HF 931 requires committees or private organizations sending mailings that include absentee ballot applications or sample ballots to include a clear, visible statement explaining the mailing is not an official government communication. The statement must specify the application wasn't requested by government officials and clarify that sample ballots aren't official voting documents. The bill also mandates that such mailings use distinctive envelopes and prohibits preprinting voter registration details like names or addresses on absentee applications. This law directly affects private groups and committees distributing these materials ahead of elections.
