The bill proposes that the political party affiliations of election judges in Minnesota should be publicly available information. It amends existing laws to require that a list of all election judges, showing each judge's major political party affiliation or their non-affiliation with any major political party, be maintained and made accessible to the public. Additionally, the bill repeals a previous statute that allowed the sharing of election judges' party affiliations only among other judges at the same precinct for verifying compliance with party balance requirements, without permitting further disclosure.
