Absentee Voting

You may download and print an application for absentee ballot. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the Absentee Ballot application. Click here to obtain the Reader. Printed absentee ballot applications can be faxed to The Blue Earth County Elections Department at (507) 304-4396. Absentee Ballots will then be mailed to applicants.

You can vote by absentee ballot if you are unable to vote in person on Election Day because you are:
  • Absent from the precinct
  • Ill or disabled
  • An election judge serving in another precinct
  • Unable to go to the polling place due to a religious holiday or beliefs

    • Military and overseas voters can refer to https://minnesota.overseasvotefoundation.org    for more information.

    Absentee ballots are available 30 days prior to the state primary and the state general election.

    You may pick up an application for an absentee ballot in person, or request one from Blue Earth County Elections Dept., BEC Government Center-Lower Level, 410 S. Fifth St., P.O. Box 3524, Mankato, MN 56002-3524, (507) 304-4341. The Blue Earth County Elections Department will mail absentee ballots to voters after applications have been submitted. 

    In person: You may vote in person at the Blue Earth County Elections Dept. during the following times for the primary and general elections:
  • During normal office hours beginning 30 days before the election;
  • On the Saturday before the election from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; or
  • On the Monday before the election until 5 p.m.
    • By mail: If you are in the armed forces or residing outside the United States, you may vote by absentee ballot using the address where you last lived in Minnesota. A special application form is required, which you may obtain from the Blue Earth County Elections Dept. or from the voting assistance officer in your military unit. Your parent, spouse, brother, sister or child at least 18 years of age may also request an absentee ballot for you. Make sure to apply early so you will have time to receive the ballot and mail it back before Election Day! If your ballot is not received by Election Day it will not be counted.
