Early voting in Minnesota

Minnesota continues to see a record high number of voters cast ballots by mail this election cycle. State election officials are encouraging residents to vote early due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Request an absentee ballot

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon is asking all eligible Minnesota voters to apply for their absentee ballots using the online absentee ballot request tool.

"We need to treat the upcoming statewide elections as a public health issue," Simon said in a statement.

"To slow the spread of COVID-19 we need to reduce large gatherings, including at polling places. I'm challenging all eligible Minnesota voters to cast their vote from the safety of their home. In the face of this pandemic, it is the right thing to do to protect Minnesotans who are most at risk - and the people who care for them. Fortunately, it's very easy to do."
