Where to vote?
Polling locations for school district elections are not necessarily the same as they are when there are city elections.
The easiest way to find out where you vote is to use the Polling Place Finder on the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
You can use another online tool to check to see if you're registered to vote. If you're not registered or need to update your registration information, you can do so on Nov. 5 as long as you bring valid proof of residence.
