A FIRST LOOK AT THE PRIMARY BALLOT
The Sept. 9 Minnesota state primary election is two weeks from tomorrow. Here’s a first look at the State Partisan Primary Ballot for Stearns County, in which Federal offices (U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives) only are being contested. Some counties in the Sixth Congressional District will include contests for State races (Minnesota House and Senate). I’m the first name listed under the header “U.S. Representative District 6†in the middle column.

Because the State of Minnesota does not have party registration, we have “open primaries” –Â meaning any registered voter — Republican, Democrat, or independent — is permitted to vote in the Republican primary. Eligible U.S. citizents who are not registered to vote may register at the polls on Primary Election Day, Sept. 9.

In her recent mailing to Sixth District Republican voters, Rep. Bachmann also enclosed two Absentee Ballot Applications from the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State for both the primary and general election, one blank and the other with the voter’s name and address already filled out. Please note that completing and submitting the form received in the mail does not bind you to voting for any particular candidate.
