Absentee Ballots/Early Voting

Residents may obtain an absentee ballot starting 46 days before an election.

Request an absentee ballot using the Secretary of State’s online application.

If you apply more than 46 days before the election, your ballot will be mailed to you at least 46 days prior to the election. If you apply within 46 days of the election, your ballot will be mailed to you within a day or two of your application being received. Your mailed ballot will come with instructions and a return envelope. Ballots must be returned and received before or on election day by 3 p.m.

Mail-in Absentee ballots can be returned in-person at Medina City Hall during business hours (M-F, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or mailed to the Hennepin County Government Center.
