Make your voice heard!
The referendum is a community-wide decision. Our district’s goal is to ensure everyone has the facts they need to make an informed vote on or before Election Day, November 7.
There are three ways to cast your vote:
Vote early at home: Starting on Friday, September 22, district residents may vote early via absentee ballot.
Residents can request an absentee ballot by filling out the application found here or by emailing elections@wdc2155.k12.mn.us. In Line 1 of the application, check “other” and write "11-07-23 Special Election” in the provided box.
Ballot applications can be sent to the district office at the address below or emailed to elections@wdc2155.k12.mn.us. Please note that this email is only to be used for requesting an absentee ballot and should not be used for asking questions or providing feedback related to voting. If you have a question about voting, please contact your local county auditor/treasurer.

If you have not requested an absentee ballot by Tuesday, Oct. 24 but would still like to vote early, consider voting in person rather than by mail. Due to the possibility of postal delays, WDC Schools cannot guarantee that ballots requested within two weeks of Election Day will be received in time to be completed and submitted by the Election Day.
Voters must submit completed absentee ballots in person or by mail to the district office by Tuesday, November 7 at 8:00 p.m. to be counted.
In-person early voting is available Friday, September 22 through Monday, November 6.
Residents can vote early in person at the district office Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
