As spring arrives in Minnesota, it’s time for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to kick off its popular program that relies on Minnesotans to monitor our 12,000+ lakes and 92,000+ miles of streams: the Volunteer Water Monitoring Program. 

This week, the Minnesota Secretary of State Office is highlighting some of the updates to Minnesota election laws that have taken effect in recent years. 

These changes help modernize election systems and ensure Minnesotans continue to have access to free, fair and secure elections.
