VOTE
Make Your Voice Heard
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Early voting begins Friday, September 18. This is an important decision for our students, schools and community — make sure to cast your ballot on or before Election Day.
THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO VOTE:
#1 Vote Early by Absentee Ballot
To have an absentee ballot mailed to you, complete a Minnesota Absentee Ballot Application.
Apply at least two weeks before an election to allow enough time for your application to be processed, for your ballot to be sent to you and for you to return your ballot.
Once complete, submit your absentee ballot by mail or drop it off at your county's in-person absentee voting location.
Cass County Courthouse Auditor-Treasurer Department (303 Minnesota Ave. W. in Walker)
Hubbard County Government Center (301 Court Ave. in Park Rapids)
You can also vote absentee in person at your county’s election office. Fill out an Absentee Ballot Application once you arrive or bring a filled-out version with you. You will then receive your absentee ballot and can fill it out while you are there.
#2 Vote Early in Person
Early in-person voting starts on October 16. When you arrive at the early voting location, you will receive your ballot and vote through a ballot counter – just like on Election Day. The early voting locations for our district are below.
Note: You do NOT need to fill out an absentee ballot to participate in Early Voting.

#3 Vote on Election Day
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Vote at your regular polling place between 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. You can register or update your voter registration at your polling place on Election Day.
Did you know: As long as you’re in line by 8 p.m., you can vote, even if you don’t reach the front of the line until after 8 p.m.
