The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 375.20, which pertains to the timing of special elections related to ballot questions. Specifically, it modifies the timeframe within which a special county election can be called by the county board. The previous requirement of holding the election within 74 days after the adoption of a resolution has been extended to 84 days.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing procedures for submitting questions to voters, including the requirement for a resolution that specifies the matter to be voted upon, and the necessary notice and conduct of the election. The form of the ballot remains unchanged, ensuring that voters are presented with a clear question regarding the resolution.
