Minnesota township elections are March 10. Here's what you need to know to vote
Every year on the second Tuesday in March, voters in Minnesota townships gather for elections and their annual meeting. This year, township elections will take place on March 10.
Township days are uniquely hyper-local elections with voters serving two purposes: electing their township board and deciding the future of their township through its annual meeting.
“It's a very voter-focused form of government,” said Graham Berg-Moberg, the in-house counsel for the Minnesota Association of Townships. “If you're into direct democracy, townships are your thing.”
At its core, townships are the most grassroots model of local government in the U.S. Voters have a direct say in local affairs like setting a levy for how much they pay in taxes; new building developments like an update to town hall or a park; road upkeep and improvements; and electing people to serve on the township board.
