What you need to know about 2019 elections in Minnesota

Does your district or city have an election this year? Here's what you need to know.

ST PAUL, Minn. — While 2019 is not the presidential election year, it's still an election year for many Minnesotans.

Not every resident will vote on Nov. 5 of this year, but many voters will have a municipal or school district election. You can look up your district, city or township on this list from the Minnesota Secretary of State (SOS), or find it on a map. There will also be several special elections.

Voters who do have an election for their area could be voting on city or township officers, school board members, or local ballot questions like school district referendums and levies.
