The primary ballot is a little thin this year. Duluthians who aren’t in District 3 will only see two offices getting narrowed down. City Council races in the first and fifth districts have just two candidates, as do three school board races, which means they don’t appear on the primary ballot.

Primary Election polls open Aug. 13 at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

Duluthians can register to vote by doing one of the following:

• Register online at mnvotes.org.
• Fill out a Voter Registration Application on the City Clerk’s webpage and deliver it in person or by mail to the Duluth City Clerk at 330 City Hall, 411 W. First. St., Duluth MN 55802) or the St. Louis County Voter Registration Office (214 St. Louis County Courthouse, 100 N. Fifth Ave. W., Duluth MN 55802).
• Register at the polls on Election Day or when applying for or renewing a driver’s license. Find polling places by visiting pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us.

Duluthians can vote early in person at the Duluth City Clerk’s Office or by mail. Absentee applications are available in the City Clerk’s Office or online through the Secretary of State’s Office.
