May 13, 2020 marked the first date for voters to request absentee ballots for the state primary and general elections.  With Scott County’s roughly 90,000 voters, and with COVID-19 infections rising daily, we are urging voters to get out and vote… but do so by mail.  This will ensure you are safe, keep the election judges safe, and make sure that social distancing does not become an issue.  You can make an application to receive your state primary and state general ballots by visiting  https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/ABRegistration/ABRegistrationStep1.aspx.

If you have any questions, you can e-mail scelections@co.scott.mn.us or call (952) 496-8560.  Please note that Scott County does not have full-time elections staff; you may need to leave a message, but someone will get back to you within 24 hours.

The Elections Department serves more than 87,000 registered voters in the county; providing voter registration and election administration services for federal, state, and local elections.
