The Brooklyn Park City Hall will be open this Saturday, August 7, to allow the city’s voters to cast absentee ballots for the August 10 special election for mayor. Voters can vote between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
The Tuesday special election contest is between Hollies Winston and Lisa Jacobson, the top two candidates to emerge out of a field of seven candidates during the April 13 primary special election.
1,993 votes have already been cast as of today (Aug. 5) according to Devin Montero, the city clerk. On Saturday, if you are not already registered, you can do so at city hall on the same day and vote.
If you are not yet a registered voter but want to vote this Saturday, you can do so, but read this link at the Secretary of State website on what you might need before showing up at city hall.
Since the April 13 primary special election, the two candidates have engaged each other directly in one forum while Hollies Winston participated in a candidate interview that Lisa Jacobson declined.
The address to the Brooklyn Park City Hall is 5200 85th Ave. N.
