Primary Election August 11: What You Should Know

A row of white voting booths with the word 'VOTE' and an American flag printed on the side. People are standing behind the booths, partially visible, inside a large, well-lit room. Minnesota’s primary election is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. The primary gives voters the opportunity to decide which candidates will appear on the ballot in the November general election.

Choose How You Will Vote

You can vote early or on Election Day.

Know Your Accessible Voting Options

Minnesota voters with disabilities have the right to accessible voting options and assistance.

At the polling place, you may request:

An accessible ballot-marking machine so you can mark your ballot independently
Oral sign-in, including verbally confirming your identity and asking another person to sign on your behalf if needed
Voting assistance from a person of your choice or an election judge
Curbside voting from your vehicle

Other voting arrangements may be available at care facilities, hospitals, or nursing homes. Availability varies by location. Ask your county election office what is available.

Prepare Before You Vote

Taking a few steps in advance can help you prepare:

Confirm your polling place.
Decide whether you will vote early or on Election Day.
Think about what support or accommodations you may need.
Contact your county elections office to ask about accommodations.
Ask whether you can try accessible voting equipment before Election Day.
Check whether you need identification based on how you are registered. You still have the right to accommodations if ID is required.
