Let's Chalk the Vote!
Now through November 3
Early voting for the November election has begun in Minnesota!

Let’s get the word out about voting in our communities, in a fun, socially-distanced way – through chalk! Grab your sidewalk chalk and write messages on your sidewalks or even on trails that you use. Messages like, “Every Vote Counts," Make Your Voice Heard," and even the one pictured above! Let’s help make sure everyone knows that the most effective way to affect change is by voting.
