Minnesota SF2024 allows counties to establish pools of election judges by random selection from registered voters.

Minnesota SF2024 amends state law to authorize county boards to direct county auditors to randomly select registered voters to create pools of potential election judges. County auditors and municipal clerks can then designate judges from these pools for absentee ballot boards and polling places. Judges must meet all eligibility requirements and qualifications. The bill prohibits exclusion from service based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or economic status.
