For all the complaints about the City of Minneapolis website, at least you can find a section on "Elections & Voting" right on the front page.

As compared to the St. Paul website, where there is nothing there. And even though tomorrow is an election day for all the city offices, there is nothing in the "News" on their front page about it.

And there's nothing about Voter Registration or Elections in the list of city functions, and nothing about it on the page for the City Clerk.

And using their search function only finds parts of the city charter that tell how to hold elections.

If you look hard enough, eventually, under the title "Maps and Documents", you will find a Sample Ballot. (It's a massive pdf document, that takes a long time to download. And they don't tell you that beforehand, so that you don't know why nothing appears to be happening for some minutes when you click on it.)

Guess St. Paul officials really don't want too many people voting in their elections!
