Hello Neighbor,
Today is Primary Election Day! As of noon today, 4,176 total ballots have been cast in Ward 12 which is equivalent to about 12% of the total ballots cast in the City of Minneapolis. Remember, the polls close at 8 pm, so make sure to get out and vote before then. Every vote counts, and your participation is crucial to the democratic process.
Check your polling place
Voters who plan to vote today should check to see where their polling place is. Find your polling place at pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us.
Dropping of your ballot
Ballots can be dropped off during regular business hours at Minneapolis Election & Voter Services, 980 E. Hennepin Ave., or at the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 Sixth St. S. On Election Day, Aug. 13, completed mail ballots will only be accepted until 8 p.m.
Time off from work to vote
All voters have a right to take time off work to vote without losing pay, personal leave or vacation time. Any employer found in violation of this law is guilty of a misdemeanor. More information is available on the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website.
The Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services Division is responsible for administering elections in the City of Minneapolis. For information about registering and voting in Minneapolis, go to vote.minneapolismn.gov.
