About Project Minnesota

Remember Rick Weible's words: "Elections are the portal to understanding how well our government is run, and where it is headed."

Rick Weible gives Erik van Mechelen space to discuss how he began to learn about elections, May 3, 2022, outside the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River, MN

Project Minnesota is a place to learn about local elections in the state of Minnesota and contribute your voice to statewide conversations about home-grown elections, instead of elections run by private vendors such as ES&S or KNOWiNK.

Anyone can contribute to citizen-led news in Minnesota by reading and sharing these local stories.
