Breaking News - October 30

According to MPR, "Minnesota's absentee ballots that come in after Election Day should be separated from the rest of the ballots, in case a future order makes those votes invalid."

Please make your vote count. Vote on or before Nov. 3. If you have an absentee ballot, please check with your county auditor or elections office to find out where to deliver it in-person. 

Voters who prefer to drop off their ballots or vote early in person may do so at their county election office. Hours for in-person absentee voting are:
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 30
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 31
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, November 2.


Due to COVID-19, Election Information is subject to change. Information will be updated as needed. 

  • A voter must be registered to vote to be eligible to vote in this election. 
  • An unregistered individual may register to vote on election day.
  • More information on the November 3, 2020 Election can be found on the Minnesota Secretary of State website.

Voter registration
Registered voters who reside within the Red Rock Central School District #2884 attendance area are eligible to vote on the November 3 Election Day referendum.
While voters may register at the polls on Election Day, registering in advance will save voters time on Election Day and give them the option of voting by mail. Voters have until October 13 to register to vote in advance. Not sure whether you’re registered? Find out by checking here.

Residents may register to vote online through the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
Voters registering on Election Day will need proof of identity and residence, which may include:
  • Minnesota Driver’s License, Learner’s Permit, or Identification card showing a current address (or yellow receipt for any of these).
  • Valid, previous registration from the same precinct.
  • “Notice of Ineffective or Late Registration” from the Public Service office.
