With Election Day coming up on Tuesday, voting officials are recommending anyone planning to mail-in their ballot should drop it off instead at this point.
The Minneapolis Deputy Director of Elections Jon Martin says it's better to be safe than late.
"After Tuesday, any mail-in ballots that we receive will be counted as late or will be rejected as late, and they will not be counted," warns Martin.
He says mail-in ballots can be dropped off at the Minneapolis Elections Office at 980 East Hennepin Avenue. They must be received by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Counting on the USPS to get that ballot to the ballot counters in time typically comes with a seven-day lead time according to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office. That means now is too late to guarantee it gets there.
"We are recommending, if at all possible, that people who still have a ballot at home make a plan to drop it off in person at our office," Martin explained.
Both Minneapolis and St. Paul have heated mayoral races, plus city council races.
There are also two state Senate seats that are open. One of those is in Woodbury where former Sen. Nicole Mitchell resigned this year after being convicted of burglary charges. There is also an open seat in Buffalo where Sen. Bruce Anderson died. A number of school referendums are also on the ballot across the state.
