Because of COVID-19, voters are encouraged to vote early, either in-person or by mail. Early voters can check with local election officials for locations and schedules in their area.

Absentee ballot voters can apply by Nov. 2, but ballots must be dropped off at a local election office or ballot drop site by Nov. 3. Voters can also track the status of their ballot after it is submitted.

Design Manager Maggie Stout shows where Minneapolis and St. Paul residents can vote early for the 2020 election.
