This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish term limits for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor. Specifically, it stipulates that no individual may be elected to either office more than twice. The amendment will modify Article V, Section 2 of the Minnesota Constitution to include this limitation, while maintaining the existing requirements for candidates regarding age, residency, and citizenship.
The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with the question clearly stated as whether to limit the terms of the governor and lieutenant governor to two terms for candidates elected starting in 2026. Additionally, the bill clarifies that elections held prior to the 2026 general election will not be subject to the new term limits established by this amendment.
