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 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 enhance the integrity and accuracy of election results by ensuring that all necessary reconciliation and review processes are finalized before certification. This change underscores the importance of thorough verification in the electoral process, thereby promoting public confidence in the outcomes of elections.
