Curbside Voting
Curbside voting will be available for the in-person early voting and on Election Day for anyone who cannot enter the polling place for any reason, including concerns for their health. Curbside voting allows a voter to vote without leaving their vehicle.
If you choose curbside voting, call 763-493-8032 when you arrive at City Hall and two election judges will bring out a ballot to your vehicle. If you need to register or update your registration, they will bring you an application as well. When you are finished voting, election judges will bring your ballot inside for you and put it in the ballot counter.
