True" voting by mail is convenient, safe, and secure. The process is similar to what you do at a polling place, but there are a few extra steps you need to take to make sure your ballot is counted. Let's walk through the basics of voting absentee by mail. If you requested a ballot but aren't yet registered to vote, you'll need to fill out the included voter registration application. If it isn't sent back with your ballot, your vote will not be counted. Next, it's time to fill out your ballot. Do so privately, just as you would at your polling place. If you are voting in the primary, your ballot will include a partisan side with four columns, one for each major political party. In Minnesota, only vote in one column on the partisan side of your primary ballot. Once you've finished filling out your ballot, seal it in the included tan ballot envelope, then put that envelope into the white signature envelope. The outside of this envelope must be filled out completely. Then, read the oath and sign. Voters who are already registered aren't required to have a witness for the primary election. If you are sending in your voter registration with your ballot, however, you need to have a witness confirm you have an authorized proof of residency. They'll need to print their name, address, check a showing which proof of residence you provided, and then sign. Once all of that is complete, put the signature envelope into the large white return envelope and seal it. Now, it's time to return your ballot. The easiest way is to put it in the mail. It must be postmarked no later than the day of the election and received by August 13th. You or someone you know can also deliver it...
