MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Starting Tuesday, the Minneapolis Convention Center will be open for mail ballot drop offs.

The drop-off tent will be at the corner of Second Avenue and 12th Street. Drivers can either drive through the drop-off area on Second Avenue or park along 12th Street and walk over to the tent. Bicyclist and pedestrians can head directly to the tent on 12th Street.
