Apply Online to Receive a Ballot in the Mail
To vote by mail, you must apply to have an absentee ballot mailed to you. Complete the online absentee ballot application for one or both of the 2022 elections. When ballots are available (46 days prior to each election), the ballots will be mailed to you with a postage-paid envelope for return.
Application Deadline
It is recommended you apply for a ballot at least 10 days before Election Day. This gives you the best chance to get your ballot in the mail and having time to mail it back or drop it off. You can apply after this date, but each day increases the chances you will not be able to receive and return your ballot by Election Day.
Apply by Mail, Email or Facsimile
Complete the absentee ballot application (PDF) and return it by email, mail, or in-person to:

The City of Wayzata works closely with Hennepin County and the Minnesota Secretary of State to ensure that our election system is safe and secure.
According to the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State:
"In our increasingly complex and technologically driven world, data integrity, security, and privacy are more important than ever. Nowhere is that more true than in our election system. The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State works to ensure that every vote is properly cast, counted, and reported.
Minnesota’s reliance on paper ballots is a cornerstone of ballot security. Minnesota does not have 'electronic voting,' so the paper ballots are the basis for the outcome of an election. Paper ballots and vote totals are reviewed by city, county, and state election officials several times before an election is ultimately certified by the state canvassing board."
The Secretary of State’s Office has more information on the commitment to secure and fair elections and elections cybersecurity webpages.
Hennepin County provides additional detail on voting equipment certification, voting equipment testing, post-election audit and voter registration data at the Election Security webpage.
