Minnesota voters are able to vote absentee either by mail or in person for one of the following reasons:

• Absence from the precinct (away from home)
• Illness or disability
• Serving as an election judge in another precinct
• Religious discipline  

To vote absentee by mail, visit the Secretary of State’s website to download and print an absentee ballot application, or contact your county auditor or municipal clerk to obtain one. Voters can vote absentee in person during normal business hours at their county auditors’ offices and some city clerks’ offices.
