Drive-thru drop off now available
Drop off your ballot without leaving your car!
Voters can use Hennepin County's drive-thru drop off option. Simply drive up to the designated location, park, and elections staff will meet you at your vehicle. They'll ask you a few questions and place your ballot in a secure drop box.
Drive-thru drop off is available at 625 4th Ave S (formerly the Thrivent Financial building). Meters will be bagged and signs will direct you where to park. Drive-thru hours are the same as inside drop-off at Government Center. For more information, visit our absentee voting page.
