5 to allow municipalities to canvass election returns on
either the second or third day after the primary.
• Date of election. Section 23 amends Minn. Stat. §

day to file for candidacy in the next municipal election,
decide to hold the election on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November in either an even- or odd-
numbered year.
• Vacancies in school district offices. Section 24
amends Minn. Stat. § 205A.05, subd. 2 to fix a cross
reference.
• Contracts required. Section 25 amends Minn. Stat. §
206.805, subd. 1 to require the Office of the Secretary of
State to establish state contracts for the purchase of assis-
tive voting technology, automatic tabulating equipment

second Tuesday in April, the second Tuesday in May, the
second Tuesday in August (the current state primary date

November (the standard state general election date in even
years). An exception to this requirement applies for special
elections held in response to an emergency or disaster. By
Dec. 31 of each year, each municipality and each county
with unorganized territory must designate precinct polling
places for the following year by ordinance or resolution.
Exceptions for polling place changes are allowed for emer-
gencies or if a polling place becomes unavailable. A vari-
ety of related conforming and implementing changes are

equipment or technology authorized for a grant. Section
17 creates new language, Minn. Stat. § 206.95, outlining
the application process to receive a grant. The secretary of
state may make a grant from the account to a political sub-
division only after receiving an application that includes:
the date the application is submitted, the name of the
political subdivision, the name and title of the individual
who prepared the application, the type of voting system
currently used in each precinct, the date the system was
acquired and at what cost, the total number of registered
voters in each precinct, the amount of the grant requested,
the amount of money the political subdivision will use to
match a grant from the account, the type of voting system
to be acquired and if it will permit individuals with dis-
abilities to cast a secret ballot, the proposed schedule for
purchasing and implementing the new system, whether a
grant has been applied for before, a certified statement by
the political subdivision that the grant will be used only to

its are covered. It changes terminology to refer to a CEMT
