The bill proposes new regulations regarding mailings that include absentee ballot applications or sample ballots sent by committees or private organizations. It establishes a requirement that such mailings must contain a clear statement indicating that they are not official communications from a government entity, that the application or ballot was not sent at the request of a government official, and that any enclosed sample ballot is not an official ballot. Additionally, the bill mandates that this statement be printed in a visible format and that the mailing envelope be distinctly marked to differentiate it from official election mail.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that absentee ballot applications sent by committees or private organizations cannot be preprinted with the voter's registration information, such as their name or address. This aims to ensure that voters provide their own information when submitting the application, thereby enhancing the integrity of the absentee voting process. The proposed changes are codified under a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 211B.
