Election Season: Build Your Ballot
The app down below allows you to see what will be on your ballot on November 5th based on your address.
To help Minnesotans make informed decisions about the upcoming election, MPR News has launched an in-depth voter guide with information on thousands of candidates running for office in local, state, and federal elections across Minnesota. MPR News has shared the voter guide with local news sources, including WTIP.
The voter guide is designed to give voters easy access to critical information about candidates running for various offices, allowing them to build their own ballot. The guide includes more than 3,000 races from across Minnesota, covering everything from high-profile contests for U.S. Senate and House seats to local elections for mayors, city councils and county commissioners, judicial races, and school board positions.
MPR asked every candidate three key questions: why they are running, what they aim to accomplish, and their relevant experience and published responses exactly as received, ensuring voters hear directly from the candidates. More than 1,200 candidates responded with more coming in each day. For candidates who did not submit answers, MPR News staff researched their platforms to provide basic information. Additionally, voters can use the guide to reach out directly to candidates who have not yet responded, allowing for even greater voter engagement.
Voters can access the MPR News Voter Guide online at mprnews.org/election to view profiles of all participating candidates, with links to campaign websites and other relevant materials to help make informed decisions. Voters can also view their ballot and related information MPR News has on gathered on candidates here.
