MN HF1119

Changes voter ineligibility provisions so that individuals under guardianship lose voting rights only if a court order specifically revokes that right, rather than automatically upon guardianship placement.

Modifies voter registration applications and polling place rosters to reflect that guardianship alone does not disqualify voters; voting rights are reinstated unless a court has expressly revoked them.

Requires courts to issue annual written determinations on each ward's capacity to vote and affirmatively order whether the ward's voting eligibility is rescinded, restored, or continues unchanged.

Mandates that guardians include in their annual reports a recommendation regarding whether the ward's voting eligibility should be rescinded, restored, or remain unchanged.

Effective August 1, 2011, for all elections occurring on or after that date.
