Nearly One Million Ballots Cast So Far in Minnesota

ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- Nearly one million Minnesotans have already voted in the general election.

The Minnesota Secretary of State's Office says in the past week, more than 350,000 Minnesotans cast their ballots ahead of the November 5th election.  The current total number of accepted ballots is now about 920,000.

Nearly 200,000 ballots have not been returned yet.  You are encouraged to return your ballots in-person to your local election office as soon as possible to ensure your vote is counted.  It is no longer recommended that an absentee ballot be returned by mail.
