Common Cause Minnesota is part of the largest nonpartisan election help program designed to assist voters who have questions or run into any challenges when casting a ballot. Voters who need help finding out how to register to vote or their right polling location, or any other voting issues, can call or text 866-OUR-VOTE, a toll-free hotline with trained nonpartisan volunteers ready to help. 

 All absentee ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday November 5, or it won’t be counted. You can return your ballot in person to the city elections office that sent your ballot or your County Elections Office. We have passed the recommended date to mail back our absentee ballots which was Friday, October 4, so we strongly recommend you return it in person.

“If you have any questions, concerns, or problems voting anywhere in Minnesota call or text 866-OUR-VOTE for nonpartisan assistance. Holding power accountable starts with voting, because it is our voice in shaping our present and future as individuals and a community. It is also how we pick those who will be representing our interests and send a message that We The People remain the ultimate power of our democracy.” Don’t let your voice go unheard, or your political power unseen this year,” said Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera, Executive Director of Common Cause Minnesota.
