March 5th Primary Presidential Election

By

On March 5th, Minnesota will participate in the presidential primary, more commonly known as Super Tuesday. We encourage you to vote in-person at your local polling place that day.

 

Who can vote in the presidential primary?

Any voter registered in Minnesota. Voters can pre-register through February 13, or register at the polling place when they vote. Note that voters must turn 18 years old by March 5 to vote in the presidential primary.

How will I be able to vote in the presidential primary?

Registered voters will be able to vote at their polling place on presidential primary day (March 5) or by absentee ballot starting January 19, 2024. A voter must request the ballot of the party of their choice (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Republican Party of Minnesota or Legalize Marijuana Now Party). If a voter refuses to select a party, they will not be able to vote in the presidential primary.

Will other people know which party’s ballot I request?

A voter’s choice of party ballot will be recorded and is private data. However, a list will be provided to the chair of each major political party of voters who selected that party. How a voter voted on the ballot will be secret.

Volunteer for the March 5th Polling Party

By

KFNA will host its traditional Polling Party all day on March 5th at MLK Park. We will have tents outside the building and greet neighbors with coffee, tea and treats baked by neighbors like you. We’ll also have a volunteer crossing guard at 41st Street to help neighbors safely cross Nicollet, and fire pits burning to help keep everyone warm. It takes a small army of volunteers to greet, feed, warm and safely cross our neighbors all day, and it’s so much fun! See all the ways you can help with the Polling Party!

Power of Pop Kicked Off at the Kingfield Farmers Market

By

Over 70 kids, ages 4-12. took advantage of the new Power of Produce (PoP) Club, funded by the Kingfield Neighborhood Association this past Sunday. This dynamic pilot program aims to engage and inspire children, opening up a world of food exploration and promoting healthier eating habits.

PoP Club participants receive a weekly $2 token to use on an array of fresh fruits, vegetables, and even food-producing plants. By placing the purchasing power in their hands, the program encourages wise food choices while fostering a deeper connection between our community and the local food system. Alongside the token-based system, the Market is crafting an engaging lineup of activities that include food tastings, kids’ activities and a farmers market scavenger hunt!

Join us September 24th at the Kingfield Farmers Market for another PoP market! Together, we’ll cultivate a healthier future for our children, our community, and our local farmers.
