Although SOME Polling places are changing due to pandemic, ALL Kingfielders STILL vote at MLK PARK

July 15, 2020 By Sarah

To help keep voters safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, 50 of 125 polling places in Minneapolis are moving for the 2020 primary and general election. The changes will help protect people living in residential facilities and provide more space to keep voters a safe distance from elections staff and each other.

Registered voters will receive a postcard in the mail indicating their new polling locations. The Minnesota Secretary of State’s polling place finder can also provide voters their new polling places. These locations will be the same for the Aug. 11 primary and Nov. 3 general elections. All voters choosing to vote in person on Election Day should check the online polling place finder or call 311 to verify their polling place.

Though polling locations will be open for the primary and general elections, the City encourages voting early by mail to minimize direct contact with others.
