This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, specifically adding a new section to Article I that ensures elections are free, fair, and equal. The proposed amendment states that no civil or military power shall interfere with the right to vote, thereby safeguarding the electoral process.
The amendment is set to be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, and if ratified, it will take effect on January 1, 2027. The ballot question will ask voters if they support the amendment to provide for free, fair, and equal elections and to prohibit interference with the right to vote by civil and military powers. Additionally, the title for the ballot question will be "Free, Fair, and Equal Elections."
