Your Voice Matters: Let’s Get Ready to Vote This Fall
As we approach the fall of 2024, it’s time to think about an important opportunity to make our voices heard: voting! Here at ABC Realty Twin Cities, we believe that participating in elections is essential—not just for shaping our nation but also for impacting our local community.
Minnesota provides you with three voting options:
Voting is about more than just picking a president; it’s about choosing local leaders who affect our everyday lives. Local politicians make decisions on key issues like housing, education, and public safety—issues that directly touch our neighborhoods. So when you vote in local elections, you’re really helping to shape the community around you.
If you haven’t registered yet, or if you’ve moved or changed your name, now is the perfect time to get it done. You can find all the info you need about registering to vote at the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website here.
All voters will have these races on their general election ballot:
Voters may also have one or more of these races on their ballot:
Once you’re registered, the next step is knowing where to vote. There are plenty of voting sites around the East Side of Saint Paul. For specific locations and hours, be sure to check out the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website or your local election office.
In Minnesota, you can vote early with an absentee ballot starting 46 days before Election Day. You can request an absentee ballot online for federal, state, and county elections. Read about other options and more information about absentee voting at the links below.
Unlike many states, you can wait until Election Day to register in Minnesota. However, we encourage you to register before Election Day—it will save you time at the polling place.
We know that the lead-up to an election can feel a bit overwhelming, so it’s important to take care of yourself during this busy time. To help with that, we’re excited to share a free meditation opportunity at Up Yoga. It’s a great way to find some calm and clarity amidst the hustle and bustle. You can check out the details of the meditation workshop here.
As we enter this significant season, make sure your voice is heard, and let’s make a difference in the lives of those around us. Your vote is a a part of your voice—let’s make it count!
