Three voting options

We want you to stay safe while exercising your right to vote this year. You can choose what option is best for you. 

Three different voting options:

1. You may choose to vote by mail to reduce your risk of exposure. All Minnesota voters are eligible to vote by mail for any reason. The process to apply for a mail ballot is a little different this year. Plan ahead and get your application in early! Apply for a 2021 Minneapolis mail ballot 
2. You can vote early in-person at our Early Vote Center. We'll be open for voting from September 17 through November 1. Here you can register to vote, use an accessible voting machine, and get help from one of our bilingual election staff members.
3. Finally, you can choose to vote on Election Day (Nov. 2) at your assigned polling place. 

Whatever voting option is right for you this year, we'll be here to serve you. We'll continue to assess the health and safety of our staff and voters and will post any updated voting recommendations. 

Polling places follow COVID-19 guidelines

For the 2020 elections, we created and followed specific COVID-19 polling place protocols. These guidelines provided a safe and healthy environment for all voters and election judges. We've updated our guidelines for this year, following current best practices.
