Mail Ballot Precincts
Eighteen (18) of the thirty-three (33) precincts in Lyon County have elected to vote by mail ballot.
Mail ballot precincts include the cities of Florence, Garvin, Ghent, Taunton and the townships of Amiret, Coon Creek, Custer, Eidsvold, Fairview, Grandview, Lake Marshall, Lucas, Monroe, Rock Lake, Shelburne, Sodus, Stanley, and Vallers.
If you live in one of these mail ballot precincts and are registered to vote at your current address, you will receive your ballot in the mail approximately one month prior to each election. Election officials send ballots to all registered voters using non-forwardable mail. Ballots are sent between 46 to 14 days before the election.
For 2024 statewide elections, the election dates and the corresponding dates that ballots will be mailed for the foregoing mail ballot precincts are:
Statewide General Election: November 5
Ballot Mailing Dates: Between 46 days to 14 days before the election.
Each voter registered by July 23rd for the Statewide Primary Election and/or October 15th for the Statewide General Election will be mailed a ballot.
A postage-paid return mailing envelope, a ballot secrecy envelope and instructions for marking and returning the ballot were included with each ballot.
All mail ballots require the signature of a witness on the signature envelope. Follow the instructions that are included with your ballot.
Eligible voters not pre-registered by the dates noted, or pre-registered voters wishing to receive their ballot at a temporary address, may contact the Lyon County Auditor/Treasurer’s office by phone, email, mail, or in person for an absentee ballot application or may go to www.mnvotes.org to complete an online absentee ballot application.
You can return your ballot by mail, in person or by asking someone else to return it for you (this person cannot deliver more than 3 ballots) to the Lyon County Auditor/Treasurer’s office on the 2nd floor of the Government Center at 607 West Main Street in Marshall. The address will be printed on the voting materials.
Ballots returned in person must be delivered by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Mailed ballots must arrive on or before Election Day.
If you are absent from your precinct during the mail balloting period, you can still vote absentee. Apply online for an absentee ballot application at https://www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/other-ways-to-vote/vote-early-by-mail/
