In-Person Absentee vs. Early Voting
In-Person Absentee
This is identical to getting an absentee ballot mailed to you, except done in person. You will need to know your MN ID or SSN to fill out the application.
Early Voting
"Early voting" will be available for the first time in 2026. This is more similar to voting in a polling place on Election Day, and starts 18 days before the election. For all statewide elections, every county will have at least one location where early voting is offered.
For more information on ways to vote, visit the MN Secretary of State website.
