Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to improve the accessibility and timeliness of providing voter reports to registered voters in Minnesota. It seeks to expedite the process by which voters can obtain copies of public information lists.

Main Provisions

• The bill mandates that county auditors and the Secretary of State must provide copies of the public voter information lists to any Minnesotan registered voter within two business days upon receiving a request.
• The request for these lists can be made either in writing or electronically, and must be accompanied by a payment that covers the cost of reproducing the list.
• It also ensures that a copy of the public information list is available for public inspection at no cost.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

Previously, the county auditors and the Secretary of State were required to provide these public information lists within ten days of a request. The bill amends this period to two business days, thereby significantly speeding up the process.
