This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to establish new requirements for polling place designations and notice provisions for school district special elections, particularly in districts that span multiple counties. Specifically, it mandates that for special elections conducted by a school district with boundaries that include more than one county, at least one polling place must be designated in each county where more than 5,000 registered voters reside. This aims to ensure accessibility for voters in larger districts.

Additionally, the bill modifies the notice requirements for school district special elections. The school district clerk is now required to include information about the cost of conducting the special election and the savings achieved by using combined polling places in the voter notice. Furthermore, the notice must be posted on the school district's website, in addition to being mailed to affected households at least 14 days before the election. These changes are intended to enhance transparency and communication regarding the election process.
