Minnesota SF2489 enhances the testing of voting systems by requiring more comprehensive pre-election tests and public observation.

Minnesota SF2489 amends the testing requirements for voting systems to ensure they function correctly before elections. The bill mandates that voting systems be tested at least ten days before absentee ballots are used, with the tests open to political parties, candidates, the press, and the public. The tests must include processing a preaudited group of ballots and an additional test deck of ballots marked using electronic ballot markers. If errors are detected, they must be corrected before the system is used in the election.
