Minnesota Bills to Require at least Seven Days for Petitions in Special Elections

Two identical bills in pending in Minnesota on the subject of special elections. HB 66 and SF 1020 require that independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties must be given at least seven days to complete their petitions. Although even seven days is a very short period, in recent special legislative elections, the Secretary of State (who now has the discretion to set the petitioning period in special elections) has actually proposed that in some elections, only one day is permitted.

Most special elections are legislative elections, and the petition for legislative independents is 500 signatures.
