This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish term limits for the office of governor. Specifically, it stipulates that a person elected twice to the office of governor will no longer be eligible to run for the position again. The amendment will modify Article V, Section 2 of the Minnesota Constitution, which currently outlines the qualifications and term length for the governor and lieutenant governor, to include this new limitation on terms.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the proposed amendment be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with the question phrased as "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to limit a governor to two terms?" It also specifies that elections prior to the 2026 general election will be considered when enforcing the term limits established by this amendment. The title for the ballot question will be "A constitutional amendment to place term limits on the office of governor."
