Residents can register to vote online through the Minnesota Secretary of State's website at https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/VoterRegistration/VoterRegistrationMain.aspx, with registration closing 21 days before Election Day for online or mail registration. Minnesota's same-day voter registration remains available at polling places on Election Day with proper proof of residence. Acceptable identification includes a Minnesota driver's license, state ID, tribal ID, or other documents showing name and current address. Voters without ID can have a registered voter from the same precinct vouch for them. Municipal elections occur in even-numbered years, typically in November, for city council positions and mayor. The community also participates in August primary elections and special elections as needed. Residents vote at their assigned precinct polling place, which can be located using the Minnesota Polling Place Finder at https://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us/ by entering a local address. Minnesota law (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 201) makes voter registration data public, though birthdates and driver's license numbers remain private. The county maintains voter lists showing registered voters by precinct, with full lists restricted. Campaign finance records for local candidates and county-level races are filed with the Redwood County Elections Office and the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board at https://cfb.mn.gov/, where contribution and expenditure reports are publicly searchable. Minnesota statute also permits ballot questions for local levy referendums and bonding issues that may appear in the community. Voters can request an absentee ballot application online at https://www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/other-ways-to-vote/vote-early-by-mail/, with applications accepted beginning 46 days before any election. Completed absentee ballots must be received by Election Day to count, and voters can track ballot status online through the state system.
