For the Presidential Nomination Primary Election, the early voting period is January 19 through March 4, 2024. WHAT IS THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION PRIMARY? In 2016, the legislature authorized a nomination primary to be conducted for president of the United States, beginning with the 2020 presidential election cycle. The presidential nomination primary supplements the party caucus model that has been used in Minnesota for many years. The presidential nomination primary differs from other elections because separate ballots are printed for each participating political party. Each voter will be required to indicate the name of the political party they wish to vote for and then be provided with the ballot that corresponds to that party. A voter’s political party choice is classified as “private data” by state law and may not be disclosed to members of the general public or others in response to a records request. However, the law does require the secretary of state to provide that information to the chair of each major political party in the state in the form of a compiled list. The presidential nomination primary will take place on March 5, 2024 . Additional information can be found on the secretary of state’s website at MNVotes.org . ABSENTEE (EARLY) VOTING:

To maintain a high level of water quality and appearance, Chanhassen utility crews flush water through our hydrants annually. This spring, crews will open the hydrants and release the water to flow into the street or other open areas. This flushing clears out excess mineral sediment that may have accumulated in the water pipes. It also prevents stagnation in lesser-used parts of our water distribution system. Please contact Public Works at 952.227.1300 if you have questions about hydrant flushing. The two primary causes for premature deterioration of asphalt streets are weather and traffic. As the frost leaves the ground during the spring thaw, the gravel under the road has a high moisture content, which affects the load-carrying capacity of the asphalt pavement. Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the streets and highways, axle weight restrictions are imposed during the spring thaw when roads are most susceptible to damage due to heavy loads. The exact dates seasonal limits begin and end depend on annual temperature variations. Seasonal load limits in Chanhassen go into effect on the date determined by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). ROAD WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS Each year, during the spring thaw (typically early March to mid- May), state, county, and local highway authorities impose axle weight restrictions to protect their roadways.
