ELECTION 2022
Thank You, Election Judges
In Minnesota, as many as 30,000 election judges serve as
temporary, paid employees trained to handle all aspects of
voting. These essential public servants assist residents with
navigating the process of voting, provide an added level of
trust and security, remain non-partisan and impartial, and
act within the rule of law currently in place.
Election judges receive extensive training in the absentee
voting and polling place processes, as well as the use of electronic roster and registration
devices, ballot counters, ADA accessible voting machines and more. They also participate
in the testing of all equipment used for secure data transmission and accuracy.
Working as an election judge is a tremendous service to the community!
The City of Mendota Heights would like to thank the more than 90
residents who served as election judges and helped provide a fair and
balanced 2022 Election.
Election Results
State and local election results can be found on the Minnesota Secretary of State website
at sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/election-results.

Ka-Plow! Joins the Fleet
You know winter has officially arrived when the bright orange plow trucks appear on the
streets of Mendota Heights!
Whether pretreating the streets with brine to avoid a buildup of ice and snow, or surging
through a snowstorm to clear a safe and passable route, these plows and their dedicated
drivers are the superheroes of the season.
This year, the City of Mendota Heights has added a shiny new plow to its fleet of snow
removal equipment. And thanks to hundreds of you who helped choose a name, Ka-Plow!
will soon hit the streets.
Reminder
Residents can help with snow removal efforts by shoveling around hydrants and mailboxes,
and by clearing the sidewalks in front of their homes. Remember, it is illegal to place snow
on a public roadway. Also, be sure to place trash and recycling bins behind the curb line.
For more information about snow removal, visit MendotaHeightsMN.gov/Streets.
