You asked: Can people convicted of a felony vote in Minnesota?
A person must be out of prison and be done with probation, parole or any form of supervised release in order to vote in Minnesota. For example, someone who is out of prison, working and paying taxes still can’t vote if they’re on parole.
You asked: Are absentee ballots counted before the rest of the votes?
The government does not count absentee ballots before the rest of the votes. However, they are run through a tabulator beginning Tuesday, Nov. 1. Imagine the tabulator is like a kid counting birthday presents before opening them.
