With the state guaranteed its first female governor, the race between Sen. Amy Klobuchar and House Speaker Lisa Demuth is front and center, alongside critical contests for Senate, AG, and Secretary of State. Early voting also kicks off 18 days before Election Day, letting you drop your ballot into a machine — different from mailed ballots but just as valid. Officials are ready, though they’re calling for more election judges to keep things running smoothly. Nationally, mail-in voting remains intact after a court blocked restrictive measures — Minnesota’s system stays on track for fair, accessible elections.
