SF 2698 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Voter who register on election day requirement to cast provisional ballots

This bill requires voters who register in person on election day to cast provisional ballots instead of regular ballots. It directly affects voters who register at polling places on Election Day but do not present acceptable identification documents at the time of registration. The key provision amends election statutes to mandate that these voters receive provisional ballots, which must later be verified for eligibility by election officials. This change ensures that same-day registrants' votes are counted only after verification, aligning with existing provisional ballot procedures for other voter registration scenarios.
