Vote By Mail in the General Election

Voting by mail is suggested by the CDC to help keep voting safe for everyone.
You can apply to have a ballot to you online at the Secretary of State website or request one by contacting City Hall at 952-548-6302. You do not need to be registered to apply.

If you have already applied for a General Election ballot, it will be mailed to you soon.
For your ballot to count, remember this important information:

1. Read the instructions that come with your ballot carefully.
2. Your signature envelope might have a box for a witness to complete and sign. Due to COVID-19, there is no witness requirement for registered voters for the November 3, 2020 State General Election. Non-registered voters will still need a witness, to indicate their proof of residence.
3. Mail the ballot and forms back right away after you finish. Your returned ballot must be postmarked on or before Election Day (November 3, 2020) and received by your county within the next seven calendar days (November 10). Your ballot will not be counted it is received after the deadline.
