This month, a special election will be held for Minnesota Senate District 60, which encompasses Augsburg and other portions of south, northeast, and southeast Minneapolis. This special election is taking place due to the recent death of State Senator Kari Dziedzic.
The primary will take place on Tuesday, January 14, and the special election on Tuesday, January 28. Augsburg will have a polling location inside Christensen Center for students who reside on campus or in the local precinct on both dates. Absentee and in-person early voting options will be available beginning on January 9 for the primary and January 22 for the special election.
You can register to vote on primary day or on election day. An Augsburg student ID will work as proof of identity to register if you are voting on campus or in the city of Minneapolis.
