Absentee Voting
You can vote by absentee ballot if you are:
- Away from home
- Ill or disabled
- An election judge serving in a precinct other than your own
- Unable to go to the polling place due to a religious observance or belief
For a great rundown of how to vote absentee in this election, see the League of Women Voters of Northfield's website: http://lwvnorthfieldmn.org/weblog/post/983/. We have summarized their basic points here. If you are eligible to vote absentee, you have three options. You can
- Apply for a ballot and mail it in. We don't recommend this because the holiday mailing rush might make it arrive after January 3 and then it wouldn't be counted.
- Have your absentee ballot delivered by proxy on election day. Apply for a ballot as if you would send it by mail and assign a proxy to turn it in for you on January 3.
- Vote in person before election day. Northfield residents can vote at Northfield City Hall, and all Rice County residents that reside in District 25 can vote absentee at the Rice County Auditor-Treasurer's Office in the Rice County Services building in Faribault.
