Minnesota SF2693 amends the requirements for identifying and verifying a candidate's residence on an affidavit of candidacy. The bill mandates that a registered voter can request a review of a candidate's address up to one day after the filing deadline. The filing officer must verify the address is within the office's area. If the address is outside the area, the candidate's name is removed from the ballot. Candidates can request their address be classified as private data, but must provide documentation and certification.
