Return your ballot in person on Election Day
On Election Day, the only place you may return your ballot in person is to the Ramsey County Elections Office by 3 p.m.
Do not place your ballot in any county or city document drop boxes or payment boxes; it will not be counted.
Vote at your polling place if you didn't return your ballot
If you requested an absentee mail-in ballot but never returned it, you can still vote. You should go to your assigned polling place to vote on Election Day. Your absentee ballot will be spoiled (made invalid) and you will be issued a new ballot to cast at the polling place.
Changing your vote
You can ask to cancel your ballot until the close of business two weeks before Election Day. After that time, you cannot cancel your ballot. To cancel your ballot, contact the elections office.
