Minnesota’s primary election is next Tuesday, August 9. Voters will be asked to winnow down the field of candidates in a number of races, including for the House of Representatives and state legislature.

If voting on Tuesday is a problem, you can vote absentee by going to your city or county office up until the day before the election.
