Do you have questions about the upcoming mid-term elections? Minnesota Public Radio News has all the up-to-date information for you to follow, but we thought we'd help spread some information to you too.

The Morning Show's Steve Seel sat down with Minnesota's Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, who is leaving the office after the votes are all counted next week. Sec. Ritchie explained the new voting rules (did you know you can vote this weekend, and not just on Nov. 4th?), how to vote, and why he thinks it's important to vote in the mid-term elections.

You can visit the official site for voter information, mnvotes.org -- where voters can request an absentee ballot; track the status of their absentee ballot (to learn when it was mailed and if it was received/accepted); find their polling place; view their sample ballot; learn how to register on election day and more.
