Secretary of state must maintain a list of presidential nomination primary voters and their selected political party, classified as private data but shared with corresponding major political party chairs upon written request.

Secretary of state and county auditor must destroy all data used to create the list within ten days after the party chair confirms receipt.

Political party chairs may share the list with organizational units within the party only after obtaining written acknowledgment of requirements and penalties, and must maintain a five-year log of all distributions available for public inspection.

List may be used exclusively for elections and political activities and cannot be sold, distributed, or used for any commercial purpose.

Voters may request removal from the list by submitting a signed statement, and violations are subject to remedies and penalties under Minnesota data practice statutes; effective retroactively from January 1, 2020.
