Local elections in cities of the first class date modification authorization

This bill changes when local elections are held in Minnesota. Most cities, towns, and school districts must hold general elections on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November during even-numbered years. However, cities of the first class (like Minneapolis) may choose to hold elections in either even or odd years, provided they adopt a transition plan to manage term lengths for current officials and notify election officials. The bill amends election laws to implement these changes while requiring cities to follow specific procedures for switching election years.
