Absentee Voting Begins Sept. 23

This year’s general election is set for Tuesday, November 8. The four city of Minnetonka ward council positions, as well as school board races, will be on the general election ballot.

Absentee voting is available for voters who are unable to get to the polling place on Election Day, Nov. 8, due to absence from the precinct, illness or disability, religious observance or service as an election judge in another precinct.
