Election judge party affiliation classification as public data on individuals

Related bill: HF596

AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota Senate bill, SF No 644, proposes changes to the handling of election judges' party affiliations. The bill aims to classify the party affiliation of election judges as public information. Specifically, it requires that a list of election judges, indicating each judge's major political party affiliation or their non-affiliation with any major party, be maintained as public data. Additionally, existing restrictions that limit the sharing of an election judge's party affiliation solely for verifying party balance within precincts are proposed to be repealed. This means that going forward, the affiliation of election judges will be openly accessible to the public.
