This bill mandates the Secretary of State to prepare and distribute a comprehensive voter information guide prior to each statewide general election in Minnesota. The guide will be sent to every household with registered voters, public libraries, and educational institutions, and will also be available in electronic form. It will contain crucial information such as voting eligibility requirements, registration details, instructions for voters, maps of electoral districts, and contact information for candidates and political parties. The guide must be accessible in multiple languages and provide a recording upon request, thereby enhancing voter education and accessibility.

Additionally, the bill establishes guidelines for the content and format of the voter information guide, including the prohibition of campaign materials that closely resemble the guide. It outlines requirements for candidate statements and photographs, including word limits and submission deadlines, and grants the Secretary of State the authority to reject or edit statements that are obscene or misleading. The bill also introduces new provisions for resolving disputes related to the guide, allowing parties to agree on rephrasing statements after the submission deadline, provided the publication process has not advanced too far. The Secretary of State is required to inform all parties of any revisions, and the bill specifies that the campaign committee or candidate must be named as a defendant in related actions, with the Court of Administrative Hearings instructed to prioritize these cases.
