This bill requires that all ballot board activities in Minnesota be livestreamed to enhance election transparency. The county auditor, municipal clerk, or school district clerk must ensure livestreaming during the absentee voting period, on election day, and the day after if absentee ballots are still being processed.

The bill mandates recording of key activities, including: 1. Examining and accepting or rejecting absentee ballot envelopes. 2. Opening envelopes and duplicating ballots if necessary. 3. Depositing absentee ballots into a ballot box. 4. Counting and tabulating ballots.

Additionally, cameras must be positioned to capture: 1. Ballot board members performing their duties. 2. All ballots in the room. 3. All doors in the room.

Cameras should be arranged to avoid capturing private voter data on absentee ballot envelopes or other documents. The bill also assigns the responsibility of providing livestreaming services and retaining election data to the commissioner of information technology services. Finally, it includes an appropriation of funds to implement these requirements.
