This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to enhance voter registration processes and ensure compliance with federal election requirements. It mandates that voter registration forms include any federal law requirements, which may involve documentation of citizenship. The Secretary of State is tasked with ensuring that state and local election officials adhere to these federal requirements and must submit an annual report certifying compliance. Additionally, the bill specifies that both paper and electronic voter registration applications must contain consistent information and includes provisions for voters to provide physical descriptions of their residences if necessary.

To support counties in meeting these federal requirements, the bill appropriates $5 million from the general fund for fiscal year 2027, which will be distributed as grants based on voter turnout in the previous election. This funding is intended to assist counties in complying with any new federal election mandates enacted after the bill's effective date. The act will take effect the day following its final enactment.
