The next No Kings Day is coming
The next No Kings Day will be different. Join the No Kings kickoff call this Thursday, 9/10 at 8pm ET/5pm PT to learn about the national day of voter participation being planned for this October.
Minnesota takes election security seriously. Before the Election, we have the Public Accuracy Test. During the election, election judges ensure that the processes in the polling places follow the law. After the election, we have the Post Election Review.
**[Minnesota Statutes 206.89](https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/206.89)** states that after every state general election, Minnesota counties perform a post-election review of election results returned by the optical scan ballot counters used in the state. The review is a hand count of the ballots for each eligible election (U.S. President, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, and Governor) in the selected precincts compared with the results from the voting system used in those precincts.
The post-election review is carried out by the County Canvassing Board, made up of the County Auditor (in St. Louis County, Nancy Nilsen), the Court Administrator of the District Court (Kim Vizena), the mayor/chair of the town board of the largest municipality in the County(Roger Reinert), and two County Commissioners (Patrick Boyle and Ken Musolf).
Come witness this historic process. Our elections are precious. Maybe in prior years we could let this operate in the background. 2026 is different.
Note: the starting time, 9 am is set, the ending time depends on how long it takes to review the selected precincts.
