With the primary election of August 11, early voting starts July 24! Here’s what Maple Grove voters need to know.

Starting with the 2026 election cycle, Minnesota’s updated election laws mean Maple Grove will offer 18 days of in-person early voting. Those who participate will complete an early voting certificate, mark their ballot, and then insert it directly into the ballot tabulator.

For the primary election, there are several convenient ways to vote:
• Absentee by mail -- starts June 26, 2026
• In-person absentee voting at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis -- starts June 26, 2026
• Early voting at Maple Grove Government Center -- starts July 24, 2026
• Vote on Election Day at your assigned polling place -- August 11, 2026

If you're voting by mail, you can return your completed absentee ballot to the Maple Grove Government Center (12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway) throughout the full 46-day absentee voting period. Please note that in-person ballots will only be issued during the 18-day early voting period.
