This bill mandates that the Secretary of State of Minnesota must provide voter and election data to federal agencies or departments upon request, overriding existing laws that may restrict such disclosures. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of State to supply all data from the statewide voter registration system within 180 days of the request or by the 90th day before the next scheduled election, whichever is sooner. The definition of "voters" is expanded to include individuals who attempted to register but were not registered, those with outdated registrations, and individuals who registered but did not vote.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 200, titled "ACCESS TO VOTER AND ELECTION DATA," which outlines these requirements. The provisions of this section will take effect the day after the bill is enacted and will apply to any data requests made thereafter.
