SF 640 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Election judge party affiliation as public data on individuals classification

SF 640 makes election judge party affiliation publicly available data in Minnesota. The bill requires county election officials to maintain and publish a list showing each election judge's major political party affiliation (or if they don't affiliate with a major party). This changes current law, which restricted sharing this information beyond verifying precinct party balance requirements. The bill repeals the previous restriction that limited disclosure of this data. It directly affects election judges by making their party affiliation part of publicly accessible records.
