💡 Amendment Fact #7:
Did you know? In Minnesota, leaving a constitutional amendment question blank on your ballot counts as a "NO" vote! 🗳️
Under state constitutional rules, an amendment requires a majority of all voters participating in the election to pass, not just a majority of those who answer the specific question. Make sure to turn your ballot over and cast an informed vote on every question!
Inform yourself before voting at our ISD 152 Permanent School Fund Webpage.
