207A.04 Auditor furnished information by secretary of state; ballot preparation.
Subdivision 1. Notice of filing period. Twenty weeks before a presidential primary is to be held, the secretary of state shall provide notice to the county auditor of each county of the date of the presidential primary. Within ten days after notification by the secretary of state, each county auditor shall provide notice of the date of the presidential primary to each municipal clerk in the county.
Subd. 2. Notice of primary. At least 15 days before the date of the presidential primary, each municipal clerk shall post a public notice stating the date of the presidential primary, the location of each polling place in the municipality, and the hours during which the polling places in the municipality will be open. The county auditor shall post a similar notice in the auditor's office with information for any polling places in unorganized territory in the county. The governing body of a municipality or county may publish the notice in addition to posting it. Failure to give notice does not invalidate the election.
Subd. 3. Ballot preparation. The secretary of state shall prepare paper ballots, absentee ballot envelopes, ballot return envelopes, election return envelopes, and summary statements for use in the presidential primary. The ballots must be printed on white paper with a separate ballot for the names of the candidates of each political party.
