**IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR VOTERS WITH AN ABSENTEE BALLOT**

A court ruling on October 29 now requires that absentee ballots must ARRIVE on Election Day in order to be counted. Any ballots that come in after Election Day will not be counted. If you still have an absentee ballot, please consider dropping it off at your city hall or at the Anoka County Government Center. All locations will be open on Saturday from 10:00 A.M. -3:00 P.M. and on Monday until 5:00 P.M. The deadline to drop off on Election Day is 3:00 P.M. Otherwise you can vote early or vote at your polling place on Election Day.

Voters should no longer place their absentee ballot in the mail. Instead, voters have several options to ensure their vote is counted in the November general election:

• Voters who have already put their ballot in the mail can track their ballot at mnvotes.org/track. If their ballot has not yet been received the voter can vote in-person in either by absentee, or at their polling place on Election Day.
• Voters can deliver their ballots to their county election office by hand (or have someone they trust hand-deliver it for them).
• Voters can cast their vote in person with an absentee ballot at their local election office up until November 2, 2020.
• Voters can cast their votes in person on Election Day. Use our Pollfinder Tool to find out where to vote.
