Minnesota Elections Integrity Act establishment and appropriation

SF 1527, the Minnesota Elections Integrity Act, requires voters to present photo ID to register and vote, creates a state-issued voter identification card, and establishes provisional ballots for those without ID. It directly affects Minnesota voters, election workers, and individuals acting as agents for absentee voters or providing assistance at polling places. Key provisions include mandating photo ID at registration and polling locations, prohibiting certain voter registration activities, increasing penalties for violations, and appropriating funds for implementation. The bill amends multiple election statutes and takes effect on June 1, 2026.
