Tip #2:Â Is it too late to mail back my absentee ballot?
Probably not, BUT…Â Your ballot must be postmarked by Nov 3 and received by Nov 10, so if you mail it today on October 26 it will almost certainly be received in time. That said, if you want to be sure, consider dropping off your ballot at one of the 13 locations listed here: https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/vote-by-mail/.
I’ve already mailed in my absentee ballot. Is there anything else I should do?
Yes! Track the status of your absentee ballot here: https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/AbsenteeBallotStatus.aspx. You will see when your ballot has been accepted and, perhaps more importantly, if it has been rejected for technical reasons (e.g. you forgot to sign the signature envelope). If it is rejected, the city will send you a replacement ballot or contact you, BUT given the huge volume of absentee requests this year they might be a bit behind on this, so checking yourself will allow you to figure out a different way to vote.
