Public Policy/2012 Election

How to Vote

On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, Americans will head to the polls to cast their vote in the presidential election. Minnesotans will also be casting their ballots on two important amendment issues:  Voter I.D. and Marriage. The Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce recognizes and fully supports the democratic voting process and urges you to exercise your freedom as an American citizen during the critical 2012 election.

Here are some helpful website links that can help you learn how and where to vote.

Where do I vote?

One of the most important questions that may arise on Election Day is, “where do I vote?” The Minnesota Secretary of State website can easily help you find your polling place (including directions) and the district for your precinct. Visit the Polling Place Finder for more information.

For information on registering to vote, what to bring to the polls on Election Day or for other frequently asked questions, please visit the website of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Who are my candidates?

To see the questions and names of candidates that will be on the ballot for your precinct, enter your zip code into the My Ballot feature on the Minnesota Secretary of State website.  You will be provided with a list of each of the candidates for all levels of office, from U.S. President and Vice President to District Court judges.
