Older and Bolder: Vote

01/22/2021

We are planning to launch a series of MN focused podcasts to complement our blog at OlderandBolder.vote and this page. We’re exploring ideas, and looking for guests (like you) to talk about their experiences! As elders what issues do you care about and look forward to working on with others as we move into a post-Trump era? Our brainstorming includes topics such as elder care & care facilities, transportation, broadband, crime & safety, white privilege, and living in a pandemic.

Thanks to Republican voter-suppression efforts, the deadline for MN mail-in ballots to be returned is now 3pm on election day, November 3rd! Previously, ballots only needed to be postmarked on that day, but could arrive as late as November 10th. If your ballot is already in the mail, it will be accepted if it arrives before 8pm on November 3rd-- but it is now too late to mail your absentee ballot, if you have not done so already.

If you have an absentee ballot which you have not mailed yet, then you need to drop it off yourself, before 3pm on November 3rd, at the election office that sent your ballot; you cannot drop your ballot off at a polling place. Alternatively, you can vote in person, or curbside, on election day. (Do one or the other. Do not vote twice.)
