Message from Council Member Kevin Reich

The general election is Tuesday, November 2. Do your part to ensure a good turnout by considering the following:

  • Do you know where your polling place is? Precinct 7 in the SE Como neighborhood, for example, had a change in polling place this year from the Elections Warehouse to Van Cleve Park. If you are unsure of where to vote, click HERE to go to Hennepin County’s precinct finder.
  • Are you registered to vote? You can find out by going to www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/elections and clicking on “Voter Registration Lookup”. You can register to vote at your polling place by providing one of the forms of identification required by Minnesota law.
  • Do you need a ride to the polls? In the Twin Cities metro area, the non-partisan Rides to the Polls Coalition will provide free rides to and from the polling place. Fully accessible vans are ready to meet the needs of all people, including those who use wheelchairs, scooters and walkers. Space is limited, so call or email now to schedule a ride: 1-877-507-4337 or jeff@mncn.org.
  • Do you know what’s on your ballot? The general election ballot includes races for U.S. representative, governor and lt. governor, secretary of state, state auditor, attorney general, state senators, state representatives, county and judicial offices, and the Minneapolis school board. In addition, there will be a Minneapolis City Charter ballot question on the handling of redistricting in the city.

Minneapolis 311 will be available extended hours, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. to serve voters while the polls are open on Tuesday. Minneapolis voters can call 311 for information on how to register and where to vote.
