On Monday, Governor Tim Walz issued a Writ of Special Election following the death of State Senator Kari Dziedzic. The City of Minneapolis’ Elections and Voter Services team is working closely with Hennepin County and the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office in coordinating the special election to be held on Tuesday, January 28^th. 

Voters may request a ballot by mail for the upcoming special election. However, with less than a week between the start of Early Voting and Election Day, voters are encouraged to drop off any ballots requested by mail to ensure they are counted.   Ballots can be returned to the Elections & Voter Services main office or the Hennepin County Government Center until 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
