Was Your Ballot Counted In Minnesota? Here's How To Check

MINNESOTA — Do you vote by mail? Or perhaps you received your ballot in the mail, but you decided to turn it in by hand at the local election office that sent it to you.

In Minnesota, voters can check to see when their ballot arrived and if it has been counted yet. As long as your mail-in ballot arrives by Election Day, it will be counted, according to current state election laws.

If your ballot arrives after Election Day, that's a different story. An Eighth Circuit panel ruled Thursday evening that election officials must "segregate" Minnesota ballots received after Election Day.

That means a later ruling might lead to post-Election Day ballots being thrown out entirely.

Check the status of your ballot

Go here to find the Secretary of State ballot-tracking tool. Type in the information, and make sure it lines up with what you wrote for your mail-in ballot.
