The proposed bill seeks to amend the Minnesota Constitution by adding a new section to Article I that guarantees free, fair, and equal elections. Specifically, it states that no civil or military power shall interfere with the right to vote. This amendment aims to strengthen the integrity of the electoral process in Minnesota.
If adopted, the amendment will be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with an effective date of January 1, 2027, upon ratification. The ballot question will ask voters whether they support the amendment to ensure free, fair, and equal elections and to prohibit any interference with the voting process by civil or military authorities. The title for this ballot question will be "Free, Fair, and Equal Elections."
