Minnetonka Municipal Primary Election Is Aug. 13

Filings for this fall’s city election closed June 4. 

Three seats are on the ballot in November —mayor and the two at-large council member seats. Two people filed for mayor, two people filed for At Large Seat A and four people filed for At Large Seat B.

Because more than two people filed for At Large Seat B, a municipal primary election will take place Tuesday, Aug. 13, for that seat. Absentee voting for the municipal primary starts June 28 and will continue through Aug. 12.

The four candidates for Council Member At Large Seat B are:

• Patty Acomb (incumbent)
• Brian Grogan
• Dan Martin
• Rick Ranta

About absentee voting

Absentee voting is available for those who are unable to get to the polling place on Election Day due to:

• Absence from the precinct;
• Illness or disability;
• Religious observance; or
• Service as an election judge in another precinct.

Absentee voting may be done in person or by mail. The first step to vote absentee by mail is to complete an application. Applications may be obtained by calling city hall at 952-939-8200 or via the city's Absentee Voting page. Upon receipt of an application, the city will mail a ballot with instructions.

Extended absentee voting hours will be available Saturday, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Monday, Aug. 12, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5.
