Minnesota's Aug. 11 Primary: What's On My Ballot In Maple Grove

MAPLE GROVE, MN — Minnesota's statewide Aug. 11 primary is quickly approaching. Voters will have a chance to decide which candidates will compete in the general election.

Minnesota has an open primary, meaning voters can choose which party's primary they want to vote in. However, voters can only select candidates from one political party in partisan elections.

Request an absentee ballot

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon is asking all eligible Minnesota voters to apply for their absentee ballots using the online absentee ballot request tool.

"We need to treat the upcoming statewide elections as a public health issue," Simon said in a statement.

"To slow the spread of COVID-19 we need to reduce large gatherings, including at polling places. I’m challenging all eligible Minnesota voters to cast their vote from the safety of their home. In the face of this pandemic, it is the right thing to do to protect Minnesotans who are most at risk - and the people who care for them. Fortunately, it’s very easy to do."
