There are 45 days until the Great Minnesota Get-Together… 🎡 But only 29 days until the Minnesota Primary Elections! 🗳️

Did you know that, on average, more Minnesotans attend the State Fair than vote in the primaries? Statistically, only 1 in 6 eligible voters participated in our last three primary elections.

Before we head out for Sweet Martha's cookies, let’s make sure we show up for our communities. Primary elections shape exactly who and what end up on your November ballot.

Make your voice heard and participate in shaping Minnesota's future!

👉 Visit the website to check your registration, view your sample ballot, and find your polling place.
