This Minnesota legislative bill proposes to make the political party affiliations of election judges publicly available data. The bill involves adding new provisions to existing statutes which would require that records listing each election judge's major party affiliation (or their lack of affiliation) be maintained and made accessible to the public. Additionally, the bill seeks to repeal a section of law that previously allowed for the distribution of party affiliation information among election judges solely for ensuring balance among parties at precincts, but prohibited the use of this information for any other purposes. Essentially, this legislation is aimed at increasing transparency by allowing the public to know the party affiliations of election judges.
