Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, July 24, 2026 —

Early in-person voting for Minnesota’s upcoming August primary election is now open, providing residents with an extended period to cast their ballots ahead of election day.

Voters who may have missed the standard registration deadline still have the opportunity to participate. They can visit local early voting sites to cast their ballot. To do so, individuals must present their Minnesota identification or Social Security number at the polling location. This provision aims to accommodate those who were unable to register in advance of the deadline.

In addition to early in-person voting, the window for mail-in absentee voting commenced in late June. This allows registered voters to receive and return their ballots through the mail, offering another accessible option for participation in the primary election.

The early voting period is designed to increase voter turnout and provide flexibility for residents as they prepare to make their choices in the upcoming August primary.
