BLUE EARTH COUNTY
ELECTIONS/VOTER REGISTRATION

How do I vote?

Go to your polling place on Election Day. Generally you vote in the neighborhood where you live. If you recently registered you will receive a post card that tells you the location of your polling place. You can also look up your polling place location online by entering your address in the Polling Location Finder. You can also call (507) 304-4341 or email the Blue Earth County Elections Dept. for the address of your polling place in Blue Earth County.

An election judge will check if you're on the list of voters and, if so, have you sign the list. Then you'll get a ballot. If you can't go to your polling place on Election Day, you can request an absentee ballot.

An election judge will show you how the ballot works, and you can ask for help with reading or marking the ballot if you need it. After voting, take your ballot to the ballot box. How you vote is secret. Asking people about their votes or campaigning is not allowed in or around the polling place.

All polling places should be fully accessible with clearly marked accessible doors and parking spaces. If you can't easily leave your car, you can ask for the ballot to be brought out to you in your car.

If you are confined due to illness or disability, you can vote by absentee ballot. If you have a permanent disability or illness that causes difficulty going to the polls, you can request to be put on a permanent absentee ballot list. Call (507) 304-4341 or email the Blue Earth County Elections Dept. for more details.
