(Earlier story):

Freeborn County Auditor-Treasurer Kelly Hendrickson said during the Freeborn County Board of Commissioners meeting the polls were busy in the morning with lines of people in the rain even reported at some polling locations.

The Minnesota Secretary of State said as of 9 a.m. local election officials had accepted 1,271,636 absentee and mail ballots for the election. Local election officials distributed 1,441,898 absentee and mail ballots in Minnesota since voting began on Sept. 20.

About 128,000 ballots have not yet been returned. All ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Voters are encouraged to return their ballots in-person to their local election office as soon as possible to ensure their vote is counted. Voters can also choose to vote at their local polling place instead of returning their absentee ballot. Minnesotans can track their ballot at mnvotes.gov/track.
