Lewisville, Minnesota Public Records

Eligible voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old on Election Day, Minnesota residents for 20 days, and have completed any felony sentence. Because the community is unincorporated without municipal government, there are no city council or mayoral elections specific to the area. Instead, residents vote in township elections for Butterfield Township offices, typically held in March during odd-numbered years for two-year terms, along with Watonwan County offices, state legislative districts, and federal races. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the Minnesota Polling Place Finder at https://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us, which requires entering a street address to display the precinct and polling location, usually a school, community center, or township hall. Minnesota allows no-excuse absentee voting; any registered voter can request an absentee ballot online at https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us starting 46 days before an election. Completed absentee ballots must be received by Election Day, though postmarked ballots received within a few days after Election Day may be counted per current law. Early in-person voting (absentee voting in person) is available at the County Auditor-Treasurer's Office beginning 46 days before the election. Public election records in Minnesota include voter registration lists (available with restrictions under Minn. Stat. § 201.091), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board website https://cfb.mn.gov), candidate filings and affidavits, and precinct-by-precinct election results. The Minnesota Secretary of State publishes complete election results by precinct at https://www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/election-results/, allowing review of Watonwan County and precinct-level voting patterns.
