This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 2024) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 204B.21, introducing a new subdivision that allows counties to randomly select registered voters to create a pool of potential election judges.

Key provisions of the bill include: - County boards may pass a resolution directing the county auditor to randomly select individuals from the county's list of registered voters. - Municipal clerks and the county auditor may appoint election judges from this pool to serve in polling places and on absentee ballot boards. - Selected individuals must fulfill their obligation to serve as election judges if designated. - All election judges must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in Minnesota law. - Counties and cities are prohibited from excluding individuals from service based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or economic status.

The bill effectively allows local governments to use random selection to ensure a sufficient number of election judges while giving them the ability to require selected registered voters to serve.
