City of Fargo to send 56,000 voting info leaflets to metro residents

(Fargo, ND) -- The City of Fargo is sending over 56,000 leaflets to city residents' mailboxes across the metro area. 

The Fargo City Commission voted to mail the leaflets to Fargo residents for the 2022 City Election back in June 14, 2021. The leaflets describe voting options for Fargo residents, include an application process for mail-in ballots, and reiterates North Dakota's lack of voter registration requirements prior to election season. 

City officials say the mass mailing of voting info comes with the hope of increased turnout. "Our democracy depends on citizen involvement to succeed, " said City Auditor Steve Sprague, "Your voice truly matters and The City of Fargo is encouraging its residents to vote – either in person or through mail-in ballots. We hope this mass mailing effort will provide a clear roadmap for residents to choose the best voting method for each person and that we will see record turnout in our 2022 City election."

The city details voter information on their website, which you can find here.
