2024 ELECTION INFORMATION
Elections
Information listed below has come directly from the Martin County Website
https://www.co.martin.mn.us/your_government/elections/index.php
Martin County is responsible for administering elections and also assists townships, school districts, and cities with the election process.
In 2024 there are two remaining State Elections scheduled. The State Primary Election on August 13th and the State General Election on November 5th.
- The State Primary election is scheduled for August 13th, 2024. This is a partisan election that allows voters to choose which candidates from their party that they want to see on the November ballot.
- The State General election is scheduled for November 5th, 2024. This is a non-partisan election, meaning voters are allowed to vote for any candidate that they feel best represents them without having to vote along party lines.
Absentee/Early Voting
Absentee Voting
Any eligible voter can vote early in person or by mail by using an absentee ballot.
Some voters live in a mail ballot precinct where registered voters automatically receive a ballot. These precincts include the city of Ormsby and the townships of East Chain, Fairmont, Fraser, Lake Belt, Nashville, Tenhassen, and Westford.
If you don't live in one of these precincts and wish to vote early, you must request an absentee ballot by completing an Absentee Ballot Application. You also have the option to vote early in person at the Martin County Courthouse.
Absentee Ballot Applications and information may be found on the Secretary of State's website at MNVotes.org.
Military and overseas voters can also refer to the State's website for more information.
Absentee Ballot packets can be tracked from the point the voter submits the request/application to the point it is accepted by the county by visiting the Ballot Tracker.
Returning Your Absentee Ballot
After a voter receives the absentee ballot packet, and the ballot is voted, the voter should return the voted ballot as soon as possible. The most important things to remember:
- Follow the instructions provided in the mailing
- Be sure all required information and signatures are provided
- Be sure your ballot is received by the Martin County Auditor-Treasurer Office by the deadline for the election (see the instructions provided with the ballot packet for the election)
Absentee ballot voters have three options for returning their voted ballots:
- Return postage is prepaid so a voter can mail the ballot to the Martin County Auditor-Treasurer Office. The return envelope is pre-addressed.
- Voted ballots may be dropped off by the voter. This can be done up to 8:00 pm on Election Day. The voter must be able to prove their identity to verify they are dropping off their own ballot.
- Voted ballots may be dropped off by an agent of the voter. The agent must be at least 18 years old, must bring in a photo ID, and will complete a short form documenting the delivery of the ballot. This can be done up to 8:00 pm on Election Day.
- At the Martin County Courthouse, 201 Lake Ave, #202, Fairmont, MN 56031
- 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday
- The Tuesday before the election until 7 pm
