This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 204C.31, subdivision 3, to establish new requirements for canvassing boards regarding the certification of election results. It mandates that a canvassing board must complete all duties related to ballot reconciliation, as outlined in section 204C.20, and postelection review, as specified in section 206.89, before they can certify their report on the election results.

The amendment aims to enhance the integrity and accuracy of the election process by ensuring that all necessary checks and reviews are conducted prior to the final certification of election outcomes. This change underscores the importance of thorough verification in maintaining public confidence in electoral results.
