City Of Golden Valley Encourages Absentee Voting For 2020 Elections

Press release from the City of Golden Valley:

June 3, 2020

To maintain social distancing, state, county, and local election officials encourage everyone to vote absentee by mail for the Aug 11 primary election and the Nov 3 general election.

Minnesotans can now request an absentee mail ballot for both elections. Absentee voting by mail begins June 26 for the primary election and voters do not need a specified reason to receive and cast an absentee ballot. Request your ballot online or by calling the Golden Valley City Clerk at 763-593-8012.

Election Day Voting

The City is working to develop procedures for in-person voting on both election days following Center For Disease Control and Prevention guidelines but strongly encourages voters to use the absentee mail-in option for the sake of public safety. Updates will be published on the City website and in the July/August CityNews.

Register To Vote

Residents will need to register if they have never voted and will need to re-register if their name has changed, they have a different address, or they have not voted in four years. Learn more at mnvotes.org.
