Constitutional Amendment proposal to provide term limits for governor and lieutenant governor

SF 1681 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota governors and lieutenant governors to two terms each. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, this amendment would change the state constitution to restrict future officeholders to no more than two consecutive terms. The bill requires the amendment to be submitted to voters with a specific ballot question asking whether term limits should be added to the governor and lieutenant governor positions. The amendment would apply to all elections beginning in 2026, including counting prior elections toward the term limit.
