Complete Voter Guide: Everything You Need to Know
Welcome to Carver County Local News’ 2026 Election Center. Throughout the election season, this page will serve as a central hub for election coverage, voting resources, candidate information, and our upcoming General Election Voter Guide.
As information becomes available, we’ll continue adding new resources and election-related coverage. While CCLN is not producing a comprehensive voter guide for the upcoming primary election, our complete General Election Voter Guide will be published ahead of the November election.
A printable PDF version of the complete voter guide will be published closer to the General Election.
