Election Information

ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE? 

Before you can vote, you must register.  In Minnesota, you may register 20 days before election day or on election day at your polling place. Your registration remains current until you move, change your name, or do not vote for four consecutive years.  You may update your registration information by completing another Voter Registration Application.

You may register to vote on the Mn Secretary of State website here: https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/VoterRegistration/VoterRegistrationMain.aspx

You can also verify that you are registered.  Use the Am I Registered to Vote feature on the the Minnesota Secretary of State website to check to see if your registration is still valid and up to date.

 

VOTING PRECINCTS 

The City of Lake City is located in two counties, Wabasha County and Goodhue County. Due to this fact, the Goodhue County portion of Lake City votes in a separate precinct, Precinct IV. The remainder of the City is separated into three other precincts, residents of which vote in either Precincts I, II, or III. To find your voting precinct, you can download the precinct map below, consult the Minnesota Secretary of State Precinct Finder, or contact the the office of the City Clerk at 651-345-6812.
