Alberta, Minnesota Public Records

Registration deadlines fall 21 days before Election Day for online and mail submissions, though same-day registration remains available at the polls with proper proof of residence such as a Minnesota driver's license, current utility bill, or vouching from another registered voter in the precinct. As an unincorporated community without municipal government, residents don't participate in city council or mayoral races. Instead, voters here weigh in on Everglade Township matters along with county, state, and federal contests. Stevens County holds elections in even-numbered years for offices including Sheriff, County Attorney, the five County Commissioners serving staggered four-year terms, County Auditor-Treasurer, County Recorder, and various other positions. Residents can locate their polling place using the Polling Place Finder at pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us or by contacting the County Elections Office directly. Most voters from the area cast ballots at Everglade Township Hall or a designated Morris location. Minnesota Statutes §13.37 and related provisions make extensive election records publicly accessible. Voter registration lists, excluding certain private data like birth dates and driver's license numbers, are public and distributed to campaigns and political parties. Campaign finance reports for county, state, and federal candidates can be reviewed through the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board at cfb.mn.gov and the Federal Election Commission at fec.gov. Precinct-level results are published by the Secretary of State and county auditor after certification. State constitutional officers on the ballot include Governor and Lieutenant Governor serving four-year terms, along with Attorney General, Secretary of State, and State Auditor. State legislative contests include Minnesota House of Representatives District 12A and Minnesota Senate District 12. County-level races may feature County Sheriff, County Attorney, County Commissioners for specific districts, and other offices depending on term expirations. Everglade Township elections for supervisors and clerk may also appear on the ballot. Minnesota offers no-excuse absentee voting, allowing any registered voter to request a ballot online at mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us, by mail, or in person at the County Elections Office. Applications must reach the county one week before Election Day for mail delivery, though in-person absentee voting continues until one day before the election. Voters can track their absentee ballot status online. Early voting, which is in-person absentee voting, begins 46 days before Election Day at the Stevens County Auditor-Treasurer's Office in Morris.
