Vote Early by Mail
This option is the most convenient method of voting absentee since you don't have to leave your residence! Follow these steps to vote by mail:
- Apply by email, mail or fax - complete and return the application form to Carver County (email, address, and fax number can be found on the back of the form)
- Apply online (federal, state and county elections only)
- Read the instructions that come with your ballot carefully.
- You will need a witness when you vote and complete your ballot. The witness can be either a registered Minnesota voter or a notary.
- Mail the ballot and forms back right away after you finish. Your ballot will not count if it is received after Election Day.
