Online polling location finder updated

Secretary of State Mark Ritchie encourages Minnesota voters to use the Office of the Secretary of State’s free online service to locate their polling location for the August 14 state primary election.

Voters can find their voting location, a map to that location, information about their voting district and candidates appearing on their ballot simply by entering their address into the Polling Place Finder application at www.mnvotes.org.

Minnesota has an “open primary,” which means that voters are not required to register with a political party. However, primary voters cannot vote for candidates in more than one political party.

For more information about voter registration and candidates appearing on the ballots, visit the Office’s voter information webpage at www.mnvotes.org.

Unofficial primary election results will be posted on election night after the polls close at 8 p.m. on the Office’s website at www.sos.state.mn.us.
