One in three Olmsted County voters have already cast their ballots

In a recent county board meeting, it was reported that the election office expects about half of Olmsted County’s ballots to be cast prior to Election Day — be it through mail-in voting, drop-off balloting, or in-person absentee voting.  Katie Smith, Olmsted County’s elections director, says her office has received a ballot from roughly one-third of Olmsted County’s registered voters already — that’s over 30,000 ballots already, and she says that number is still going up fast.
