More Than 586K Ballots Accepted Before Election Day In Minnesota

MINNESOTA — Even before the polls opened Tuesday for the official start to Election Day, at least 586,883 ballots had already been accepted in Minnesota.

If you still have an absentee ballot, you're now encouraged to drop it off at your county election office instead of sending it by mail. You can also discard your mail-in ballot and vote in person instead.

If you haven't voted yet but you're eligible here are five resources to help get you to the polls:

Check to see if you're registered to vote at your current address. You can do that online here.

Register on Election Day. Here is a list of items you need to bring to your polling location in order to register to vote.

Who is on my ballot? You will want to research who and what offices will be on your particular ballot. Do that easily by locating your sample ballot.

Your county may allow early in-person voting. Look up your closest county election office here.
