Your guide to voting in Minnesota: Registration, absentee ballots and general election details

General Election Day is Nov. 5, but Minnesota has multiple options for early voting.

Early voting started on Sept. 20, and in the first week the Secretary of State reported 431,502 ballots were sent and 32,788 were accepted.

Within two weeks of early voting opening, there have been over 107,000 ballots received and accepted. And as of Oct. 2, the Secretary of State’s office reported 522,784 voters have requested mail-in or absentee ballots.

“Comparison to the last presidential election is a little bit unfair, because that was the COVID presidential election, right? And so a ton more people in Minnesota and all across the country were choosing to vote absentee,” Secretary of State Steve Simon said.
