Information about Voting
For Absentee Voting:
- Begins on September 22 (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 and Anoka County Elections handles this also.
- The final 18 days leading up to the election (starting October 20th) 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.

- ISD 13 has two polling locations – Highland Elementary (1500 49th Ave NE) and Valley View Elementary (800 49th Ave NE)
