Minnesota HF2671 repeals the requirement to print "incumbent" next to a judicial candidate's name on the ballot.

Minnesota HF2671 repeals the existing law that mandates the term "incumbent" to be printed next to the name of a judicial candidate on the ballot. This change affects how judicial candidates are identified on ballots, removing the label that indicates they currently hold the office they are running for. The bill specifically targets Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 204B.36, subdivision 5, which previously required the term "incumbent" to be used for chief justices, associate justices, or judges running for re-election.
