Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State Demands Removal of Voter Data from Public Website
SAINT PAUL – On April 23, 2025, the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State sent a letter to an organization called Minnesota Election Integrity Solutions, also known as MNEIS, demanding it remove voter data from a website it operates.
Earlier this month, the organization published the website claiming to allow users to verify their “voter roll information to ensure its accuracy and up-to-date status.” The website’s disclaimer states the information comes from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s registered voter list.
It is a felony in Minnesota to publish information from the state’s registered voter list online. Yesterday’s letter informs Minnesota Election Integrity Solutions that it will face legal action if the offending publication is not removed from the internet by May 2, 2025.
The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State has free, online tools that allows Minnesotans to check their voter registration status or register to vote at mnvotes.gov.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon issued the following statement:
“Minnesota’s voters expect privacy, and I will always stand up to protect the confidentiality of their personal voter data. Illegally posting this data is an offense to every registered voter. The fact that it’s done in the name of ‘election integrity’ makes it even more outrageous. I expect that this organization will do what’s right and remove the information immediately.”
