Published in News & Features
More than 350,000 Minnesotans cast ballots this past week ahead of the election on Tuesday, Nov. 5, bringing the current total to 919,581, according to the state Secretary of State’s office.
Local election officials have distributed 1,152,900 absentee and mail ballots in the state since voting began on Sept. 20.
“More Minnesotans voted in the past week than during the first four weeks of voting for this election,” said Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, in a statement Thursday. “It’s clear that our state’s long-held commitment to voting and civic engagement remains. For those who have yet to cast their ballot, now is the time to make your plan to vote in-person on or before Election Day.”
Nearly 195,000 ballots have not yet been returned. Voters are asked to return ballots in-person to local election office as soon as possible to make sure their vote is counted.
It is no longer recommended to return a mail or absentee ballot by mail. All ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Minnesotans can track their ballot at mnvotes.gov/track.
