Secretary of State Steve Simon clarifies that ICE and other federal law enforcement must follow the same rules as local police — they can’t loiter or observe without cause, and absolutely cannot intimidate voters. Only authorized personnel — voters, election workers, and designated challengers — are allowed inside or within 100 feet of polling sites. To avoid any potential issues, Minnesotans have flexible options: vote early in person or by mail from home. Democracy advocates are also mobilizing to ensure elections stay fair and accessible.
