As Tuesday's election nears, eligible voters can cast absentee ballots in person Friday, Saturday and Monday at their county elections offices and, in some cases, municipal offices.
If a voter sends in an absentee ballot by mail, it must be received at the elections office that issued it by 3 p.m. on Election Day.
Absentee voting is available if you can't go to the polls on Tuesday because you are:
Away from your precinct.
Ill or disabled.
Serving as an election judge in another precinct.
Unable to go to the polling place because of a religious holiday or beliefs.
You can cast an absentee ballot at your county elections office during standard office hours today, as well as from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, and until 5 p.m. on Monday. Many city elections offices, including Minneapolis' (City Hall, 350 S. 5th St.), also administer absentee voting. St. Paul contracts with Ramsey County for election services.
