"Part of Minnesota’s historic voting legislation will go into effect on July 1, 2023... * Expanding the right to be absent from work to vote any time during the 46-day absentee voting period, in addition to on election day; * Extending the deadline for all absentee and mail ballots to be returned to 8 p.m. on election day; and, * Allowing voters to sign in electronically when e-poll books are used. ... Several significant election laws that were passed in the 2023 legislative session have already gone into effect in #Minnesota. These include the restoration of the right to vote for those with felony convictions who are not currently incarcerated; pre-registration for 16-and-17-year-olds; and, protections for election workers from threats and harassment." #politics #USpol https://www.sos.state.mn.us/about-the-office/news-room/new-election-laws-take-effect-july-1/

#Minnesota #VoteBlue #USpol I am so damn proud right now. "(T)he Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life. Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor part accompanied this monumental session with a six-vote margin in the House and a bare one-vote majority in the Senate. The scale of their achievement cannot be overstated." https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1660846689450688514.html More details: https://www.minnpost.com/state-government/2023/05/minnpost-guide-to-the-minnesota-legislatures-2023-done-and-undone-lists/
