Dear John,
Today is the first day of Early Voting in Minnesota! Minnesota has no-excuses early voting, and it’s the best way to make sure your voice is heard in 2023. Almost 2 MILLION Minnesotans voted early in 2020 because it’s safe, easy, and you can do it on your own schedule. Read more about your options to vote early below!

VOTE EARLY IN PERSON
Locations
All voters have at least one location where they can vote early in person. View the list of voting locations before election day [[link removed]] for upcoming elections, or contact your county election office [[link removed]] .
Hours
If you are looking for the hours that a specific location is open, see the list of voting locations before election day [[link removed]] .
For most elections, absentee voting locations must be open during their normal business hours starting 46 days before the election. Locations offering absentee ballots for federal, state or county elections must also be open:
The last Saturday before Election Day (9AM — 3PM)
The day before Election Day until 5PM
Before the state general election, these additional hours are also required:
The Tuesday before Election Day until 7PM
The second to last Saturday before Election Day (9AM — 3PM)
The last Sunday before Election Day (9AM — 3PM)
These additional hours do not apply to school districts holding standalone elections.
Some local jurisdictions may provide additional early voting days or hours beyond the above required days and times. Call your jurisdiction for more information.
