Minnesota's Township Day to take place on March 10

Minnesota’s 1,776 townships will have their annual meetings on Tuesday, March 10.

Known as Township Day, these meetings take place each year on the second Tuesday in March and are a defining feature of township government. On Township Day, residents gather with their neighbors to discuss local issues and vote directly on matters such as the township’s annual tax levy — a unique example of direct democracy in action.

Citizens attending annual meetings may also discuss and vote on other township business. In addition, many townships across the state will conduct township officer elections on Township Day.
