SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Voting begins today (Friday) for Minnesota’s August 11 Primary Election.
Minnesotans can now request an absentee ballot by mail or vote early in person at their county election office during regular business hours through August 10. Voters will also be able to cast their ballot into a tabulator using the state’s new early voting process beginning July 24.
Eligible voters must be at least 18 years old by Election Day, be a U.S. citizen, have lived in Minnesota for at least 20 days, and meet other state voting requirements. Voters can register online or on Election Day at their polling place.
