A constitutional official in the executive division of the U.S. State of Minnesota’s administration is the Sec of the region. Ever since the founding of the state, 22 people have served as secretaries of state. DFLer Steve Simon is the current candidate.

On the voting date in November, the public chooses a sec of the region, who starts service on the first Monday of January after being elected. The number of periods a minister may serve is unlimited. An individual must be at least 21 years old, an eligible candidate, and a legal citizen for at least 30 days previous to the vote to be appointed official. 

The President may name a replacement to fill the remaining term if SOS’s position becomes vacant. The SOS may also be impeached or subject to a recall election by the populace.
