![Graphic covering what someone needs to know about DOJ election monitors at polling places. It reads:
Hennepin County received a request from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to send election monitors to polling places on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The DOJ was notified that their request for access for election monitors INSIDE the polling place has been declined under the typical discretion given to local election officials.
What to expect at the polls:
• The DOJ has communicated that the monitors will be DOJ staff in plainclothes.
• While DO] Monitors will not be permitted inside the polling place, they will be sending monitors who will stay outside the 100-foot boundary from the polling place, in compliance with Minn. Stat. § 204C.06
• They may attempt to interview voters as they leave the polling place. These interviews are entirely voluntary.
Know before you go:
• The DOJ has identified three cities they plan to focus on: Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, and Minneapolis, but may visit polling places in other cities as well.
• The DOJ is expected to share the names of the staffers who will be conducting the monitoring. Their identities will be shared with city clerks.
• DOJ Monitors and other members of the public must stand outside of the 100-foot boundary of the polling place. (Minn. Stat. § 204C.06).
• DOJ monitors and other observers may NOT:
- Interfere with a voter's ability to enter the polling place
- Direct or order Election Judges to take any action
- Interfere with the operations, administration, management, or activities of a
polling place.
• Our commitment is to ensure that every voter is able to cast their ballot peacefully, privately and without interference on election day. We ask all to help maintain a calm and respectful polling place.
• The HCAO is fully prepared to protect and defend your right to vote.
• Any reports of threats or harassment directed at voters or election workers will be reviewed and, if appropriate, prosecuted.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3varosuavxb55ilr7fajxtns/bafkreiartjafxawnf4wr2h6v2dtwwmmxqrwcsnz37serewy6r4s2whybla)
