Sample ballots offer a preview of everything that will appear on your official ballot, including candidates and ballot questions, making them an excellent resource for preparing to vote. You may choose to take notes or even fill out the sample ballot to use as a reference. Voters are allowed to bring their sample ballots with them into a voting booth, which can help to reduce stress, make voting faster, and provide an overall smoother experience.
You can obtain a sample ballot by visiting the MN Secretary of State Office online at myballotmn.sos.mn.gov or by picking one up at City Hall beginning Sept 16. There are eight voting precincts in Golden Valley that are determined by residential address. To ensure you receive your correct sample ballot, you will be asked to provide your address when obtaining a sample ballot.
