Polls are open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 16 locations in the city. Early voting continues every day through Monday at Woodbury City Hall.

As of last Friday, 9,178 people had voted at city hall, which is higher than during the same period in 2020 when 7,363 votes had been cast.

Amy Stenftenagel with Washington County said voter turnout on Election Day is expected to be high. “There may be a wait particularly at larger precincts,” she said in an email. “Traditionally in Washington County polling places tend to be busy in the morning when polls open, slower mid-morning into the afternoon, and become busier in the late afternoon and evening.”

She encouraged voters to double check their polling place here.

Remember absentee ballots must be received by Election Day to be counted. That means if you haven’t mailed your ballot yet, it’s best to take it to the election center you received it from. You cannot drop your absentee ballot off at your polling place on Election Day. If you’ve changed your mind, you can go to your polling place and vote in person on Tuesday but, again, do not bring your absentee ballot with you.

Residents of nursing homes are generally given options to vote early at their facilities. If you planned to vote on November 5 but are suddenly hospitalized or incapacitated you can vote with the help of an agent. These rules need to be followed exactly.
