APPLE VALLEY/ROSEMOUNT, MN — Apple Valley and Rosemount residents who plan to vote by mail in the Nov. 2 school board election should request a ballot by Tuesday, according to election officials.

Doing so will leave enough time for officials to send out a ballot and for it to be returned. Mail-in ballots will not count if they are received after Election Day.
