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. The bill mandates that a canvassing board cannot certify its report on the results of an election until it has completed all duties related to ballot reconciliation, as outlined in section 204C.20, and the postelection review, as specified in section 206.89.

The amendment aims to ensure that all necessary checks and reviews are conducted before the official certification of election results, thereby enhancing the integrity and accuracy of the electoral process in Minnesota. This change reflects a commitment to thorough oversight and accountability in the election process.
