The Minnesota Participation Project actively supports election laws that make voting fair and accessible for all citizens. During the 2009 legislative session, we advocated for a number of changes to the election law system, including those listed on the right.

None of these measures were signed into law during the 2009 legislative session.  The Governor vetoed the elections omnibus bill,  an improved registration bill, as well as improvements in the civil rights restoration notification process. 

We look forward to continuing to advocate for these improvements to our system in the 2010 legislative session.

Some election reform bills heard in the 2009 legislative session:

Early voting authorization HF1113/SF0970
 Automatic Registration HF1053/SF0660
No-excuse absentee voting HF1112/SF0853
Improved registration HF0817/SF0661
