We want voting to be the easiest thing on your to-do list.

How will you be a voter?

Voting In Person

"Personally, I like going in person to vote. It's nice to see my neighbors out voting."

Sharmarke Hussein
Real TakeAction Minnesota Member

This is a great option if you want to be in community or need in-person assistance.

You can vote on Election Day, Nov. 4, or vote early in person starting Sept. 19.

Voting By Mail

"I like having a mail-in ballot so I have more time with it to decide how I want to vote."

Cody Pals
Real TakeAction Minnesota Member

Also known as absentee voting, this is a great option if you have a busy schedule, limited transportation, or health concerns.

I changed my mind, I want to vote in person, but I already requested a mail-in ballot.

If you haven’t returned your absentee ballot, you can still show up to vote in person at your polling place on Election Day or at an early voting location.

What if my boss told me I can’t leave work to vote?

In Minnesota, you have the legal right to take time off of work to vote on Election Day, without penalty of loss of sick days or pay. Here's a formal letter we recommend you give them.

Does my individual vote actually matter?

Yes, it does. Some races in Minnesota have been won with margins of fewer than fifty votes!

We asked our members what motivates them to vote. Here's what they said.

“I’m motivated to vote because it is my right and responsibility, my honor and privilege.I vote for our collective kids and those who cannot vote.I vote to protect our democracy.I vote to make sure elected officials work for systematic change that improves the daily lives of everyday people.”

“Voting is a fundamental right. Not only did so many people fight for that right, there are still many people being disenfranchised today. Those realities give me motivation."

“Every part of our lives is political. The air we breathe; the water we drink; the planes, trains, and automobiles that get us places; they are all influenced by politics. One of the ways you can give your opinion is choosing who is going to be making decisions on those important issues.”

Cody Pals

"I go out to vote to exercise my civic duty. I don't want to regret choosing not to vote.”

Closely referencing group photos from TakeAction's events, Sean cut silhouettes of participating members out of blue and beige construction paper.

Sean used colored pencil and paint marker to build up color and detail in the faces and hair. He left clothes blue and added a stripe of yellow light on the side of each figure to help unify the portraits.

Sean painted background elements separately to layer with the figures in post.
