Early Voting Begins September 22 for November 7 Elections

MINNEAPOLIS — The November 7 general election in 2023 will see contests for local city councils, mayors, and school boards plus important school funding questions in several school districts.

But you don’t need to wait until November 7 to vote.

This year, early voting runs September 22 through November 6 for the November 7 general election. That means voters can request an absentee ballot to vote early by mail, or go to their local city hall or other designated voting center to cast their vote early in-person.

According to state law, any registered voter may vote early for any reason.

In Minneapolis, early voting will be available at Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services, 980 Hennepin Ave. E., beginning September 22. The hours will be Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., through October 20 (closed October 9). Hours will be extended beginning October 23 and will include weekends.
