SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIAL ELECTION INFORMATION

Administering Special Elections

Because this is a stand-alone school district special election, state law requires that the school district administer all election duties. This includes managing absentee (early) voting, hiring and training election judges, operating polling places, and gathering and reporting election results.

When an election happens on a day other than a state Election Day, the school district clerk serves as the chief election official unless those duties are formally delegated to the county auditor (who must agree to accept them). If the county manages absentee voting, the district reimburses the county for related costs. (Minn. Stat. § 203B.05, subd. 2)

Relevant statutes: Minn. Stat. §§ 203B.05, 203B.11, 204B.16, 205A.10 subds. 2–3, and 205A.11

ensuring Election Law compliance

Although the district administers this election, county election officials provide oversight and training to make sure all procedures meet state and federal requirements.

Under Minn. Stat. §§ 204B.25 and 204B.28, county auditors must train school district clerks, election judges, and ballot board members before the election. Training covers election laws, duties, ballot handling, voter verification, accessibility standards, and security of voting materials.

Election judges are sworn officials who uphold state election law and maintain fairness at each polling place. They receive formal training from the county auditor and often mentor newer judges and site staff to ensure accuracy and consistency throughout the process.

The county auditor also administers UOCAVA (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) absentee ballots under Minn. Stat. § 203B.05, subd. 2, ensuring military and overseas voters can participate in every election.
