SF1241
Requirement that the term incumbent be printed next to the judicial incumbent candidate's name on the ballot repeal
Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026)
Related bill: HF2671
AI Generated Summary
The legislative bill S.F. No. 1241 aims to repeal a specific requirement in Minnesota’s election laws. Currently, when judges (such as a chief justice, associate justice, or other judge) who already hold office are running for re-election, the term "incumbent" must be printed next to their names on the ballot. This bill proposes to remove that requirement, meaning the word "incumbent" would no longer appear next to the names of current judges on election ballots.
