MN “Township Day”

(St. Michael, Minn.) – Minnesota’s 1,776 townships will hold their annual meeting today (Tuesday, March 11).

Known as Township Day, the annual meetings are held every year on the second Tuesday in March and sets townships apart from other forms of local government.

Residents of the townships will meet to voice their opinions about local issues with other township residents and also vote directly on their annual tax levy.

Citizens attending annual meetings also often discuss and vote on other local issues.

In addition, many of the state’s townships will hold their township officer elections on Township Day.
