Early voting is now underway in Minnesota.

Education Minnesota members vote at very high rates, and even during a pandemic, that will remain true. And thankfully, Minnesotans have many options that make voting accessible and safe.

Voting by mail

You can request your ballot online. Make sure to track the status of your ballot, too. That can be done at www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/other-ways-to-vote/vote-early-by-mail.

The Secretary of State’s Office is advising voters to request their ballots by Oct. 2 to ensure there is time for your ballot to be returned before Election Day. The best way to vote by mail is to fill out your ballot the day you receive it and get it back in the mail that day.

Voting early in person

Many cities and counties offer numerous days and locations for voting early in person. Find your nearest early voting polling place at www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/other-ways-to-vote/vote-early-in-person.

Voting in person on Election Day

Please make sure to do so safely, and please register ahead of time to limit your time spent in line. Find all the details at www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/election-day-voting.
