Vote!! Election Day: November 3, 2026
Every voter matters, every vote counts.
Step 1: Get registered to vote.
In Minnesota, you are eligible to vote if you are a U.S. citizen who will be at least 18 on Election Day and you have been a resident of Minnesota for more than 20 days.
While you can wait until Election Day to register in Minnesota. We would not recommend it. Make a plan to vote and then “Just Do IT!” It’s important, and it will save you time at your polling place.
For advanced registration, you must register to vote. (online or by paper registration) 20 days or more before Election Day.
For Election Day registration, you will need to go to your local polling location and provide proof of residence.
Step 2: Two ways to vote BEFORE Election Day.
In Minnesota, you can vote early with a mail-in absentee ballot or at designated early voting locations (Eagan City Hall in our community) starting 46 days before Election Day. Early voting this year begins on Friday, September 18th.
You can go here to request an absentee ballot. Once you’ve requested and received an absentee ballot, you can either:
Vote early by mail, sending the absentee ballot to your county elections office;
-- OR --
Vote early in person by bringing your absentee ballot to an early voting location. For Eagan voters, early in person voting is at the Eagan City Hall (3830 Pilot Knob Road) during normal business hours Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. (NOTE: if you have not requested an absentee ballot in advance you can fill one out onsite and still vote the same day).
Maguire for Mayor!!
on or before
Tuesday November 3, 2026
(Note: Your ballot will not count if it is received after the deadline. It must be postmarked on or before Election Day, November 3rd, and received by Dakota County by the day before the county canvass, which may take place on the second or third day following the election.)
Step 3: Going to the polls on Election Day.
If you have NOT voted early, you can go to your local polling place and vote the old fashion way on Election Day! if you are already registered you can cast your vote for Maguire for Mayor, and if you have not registered to vote you can do that too (bring proof of residence)
The Minnesota Secretary of State’s office has an online search tool to find your polling location. Finding your polling location is just a click away!
