We're in the final stretch of the 2020 General Election. Tomorrow is your last chance to vote!
If you have an absentee ballot
Following last Thursday's federal appeals court decision, Hennepin County is no longer recommending that absentee ballots be returned by mail. Instead, bring completed ballots to a ballot drop-off location. Hennepin County has two locations:
- On the skyway level of the Government Center (300 South 6th St)
- At our drive-thru drop off (625 South 4th Ave; formerly the Thrivent Financial building) - drivers, bikers, and pedestrians welcome!
Ballot drop off is available until 5 p.m. today (Monday) and until 3 p.m. on Election Day.
Some cities in Hennepin County also offer their own ballot drop off locations. Please check with your city office to confirm.
If you're planning to vote early in person
Today is the last day of early voting. All eligible Hennepin County residents can vote early at the Government Center (skyway level). In-person voting is available until 5 p.m. today.
Some cities in Hennepin County offer in-person early voting. Please check with your city office to confirm.
If you're planning to vote on Election Day
Monday is the last day that Hennepin County will offer voting at the Government Center. On Election Day (November 3), please go to your local polling place.
Be sure you know where to find your polling place. Some locations may have changed due to COVID-19 safety precautions.
Confirm that your ballot was received and will be counted at MNvotes.org. If your ballot hasn't been received, you must vote on Election Day (tomorrow) at your polling place.
Find your polling location.
If you're voting on Election Day, please note that you must follow Minnesota's COVID-19 safety guidelines, including wearing a face covering and maintaining physical distance at all times.
Minnesota posts election results on the Secretary of State's website.
Remember, it will take some time to count ballots, and it will vary state-to-state.
Each week, Hennepin County will provide the latest stats on absentee voting for the 2020 general election. Absentee voting began Friday, September 18.
As of November 2 at 8 a.m. in Hennepin County:
- Ballots issued: 598,900
- Ballots accepted: 486,900
