Elections & Voter Services is extending voting hours and opening more early voting sites starting tomorrow, just two weeks before Election Day.
Anyone eligible to vote in Minneapolis on Election Day can also vote early at the Early Vote Center, 980 E Hennepin Ave., or at other locations.

Additional early voting sites
Elections & Voter Services will be opening two additional sites, with the same hours as the main location, beginning tomorrow, October 22. These locations include:
- Urban League Twin Cities – 2100 Plymouth Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55411
- Bethel Lutheran Church – 4120 17th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407
Pop-up voting sites
- A 2023 legislative change now allows for alternate voting sites that are open for differing hours and days than the main site. This has allowed Elections & Voter Services to host one-day pop-up-style voting events.
- These pop-up sites feature the same security measures, rules, and processes as the main site, but they are flexible enough to accommodate an array of alternate early voting locations across our City.
