Absentee/Early Voting

COVID-19 Information

Voters are encouraged to vote absentee by mail. If it is necessary to vote in person, you must wear a mask or face covering and stay 6 feet apart from others. Do not enter City Hall or polling places if you are sick.

Vote early by mail

Any voter may vote early or absentee instead of voting in-person at your polling place.

Then have your witness print their name, Minnesota street address and city, and sign their name on your signature envelope. If you are registering to vote, you must also show your witness your driver’s license or other authorized proof of where you live.
