I submitted my absentee ballot but now I have changed my mind. Can I do it over?

In Minnesota, absentee ballots are accepted or rejected within 3 - 5 days of being received and they begin being opened and counted fourteen days before Election Day.

If you wish for your submitted absentee ballot to be "spoiled" and want your ballot re-issued to you, please call Ramsey County Elections at 651-266-2171. Please note that once your absentee ballot has been opened and counted you have already voted in the election. Your absentee ballot cannot be "spoiled" and you can not receive a new ballot.
