The legislative bill in question aims to modify the public availability of information regarding the political party affiliations of election judges in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill proposes adding provisions that make it mandatory for appointing authorities to maintain and publicly disclose a list of election judges, indicating the major political party affiliation of each judge or confirming that the judge is not affiliated with a major political party. Moreover, the bill seeks to repeal an existing statute that restricts the use of this information solely to verify compliance with party balance requirements among election judges, and prohibits its further disclosure or use. Essentially, this bill intends to transform the current confidential status of an election judge's party affiliation into publicly accessible data.
