To be sure your mail-in ballot is counted, drop it off. Don't mail it.

Drop off your ballot before Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. to make sure it is counted.

To be sure your mail-in ballot is counted, drop it off. Don't mail it. Minneapolis voters have 13 staffed, mail ballot drop-off locations, now with extended hours.

Yesterday, the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals called for all mailed ballots arriving after 8 p.m. on Election Day to be separated from the rest of the early ballots received. This is not a final decision, but ordering the separation of those ballots makes it possible to prevent them from being counted in a future court ruling.

Dropping off ballots for others

If you're dropping off ballots from other voters, you can bring no more than three (not counting your own ballot). You'll need to show identification with name and signature and complete some simple paperwork.

Voting in person on Election Day after requesting a mail ballot

You can vote in person as long as your mail ballot has not yet been received and counted. Elections staff at polling places will check to see if they’ve received and counted your mail ballot.

If you already mailed back your early ballot, check the online ballot tracking tool first thing in the morning on Election Day, Nov. 3. If your name has a hyphen or symbol, you may need to try multiple spellings to find your ballot status.

If the tracking tool shows your ballot has not yet been accepted, look up your polling place and go vote in person before 8 p.m.

Debido a las nuevas reglas, ha cambiado la fecha límite de entrega de las boletas electorales

Para asegurarnos que tu voto sea contado, te recomendamos que no envíes tu boleta electoral por correo. Llévela a uno de los 13 sitios de votaciones o vota en persona.

La corte federal de apelaciones dio un fallo que las boletas electorales recibidas después de las 8 p.m. el día de las votaciones (3 de noviembre) tienen que ser separadas y puede haber retos legales que pudieran resultar en que no sean contadas.
