Information about Voting
For Absentee Voting:
- Begins on September 18, 2026 (46 days before the election)
- All in-person voting will take place at the Anoka County Government Center during this time.
- Ballots can be requested to be sent via mail as well (Anoka County Elections also handles this).
- The final 18 days leading up to the election (starting October 16th) are called “Direct Balloting”. This process allows voters to put their ballot directly into a machine instead of into envelopes like they do during the first 28 days of absentee. This is also done at the county.
