Did you know that voting in your local election is just as important as voting in larger elections? Some cities and towns in Minnesota will have a local election this year, others will not. 

Local elections may include races for city officers, school board members, township officers, and local ballot questions. 

During this webinar, together, we will go through how to find your polling station, how to look up if your city or town will have a local election, and the different ways you can research candidates running for office. 

The information will be shared by Secretary of State Steve Simon and Voter Outreach Director Melanie Hazelip.

Intended audience

Anyone, including Minnesota's deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing community, who is interested in learning more about their voting rights and accessible voting in Minnesota.
