Minnesota Voter Integrity Act of 2026

Key Points

• Congress is considering a bill that would stop federal election money from going to Minnesota until the state shares specific voting data with the U.S. Attorney General.
• To receive the funds, Minnesota would have to hand over all records related to people who register to vote on the same day they cast their ballot, including the records of the votes those people cast.
• The bill also requires the state to provide any other records the Attorney General thinks are necessary to prove the state is following federal election laws.
• This would block funding from a major federal law that helps states pay for voting machines and election security until the state meets these new reporting demands.
