Minnesota SF786 amends election laws by requiring major party candidates to be certified by the party chair before being placed on the ballot. The chair must certify candidates who sought the party's endorsement at a convention and received at least 30% of the vote. The certification must include details such as the date, location, number of voting delegates, and the highest percentage of the vote each candidate received. Only candidates whose names appear on this certification can file for office. The bill also modifies ballot placement requirements and petition requirements for candidates.
