Today in Fargo-Moorhead: Warmer temps ahead, first day of early voting in Minn.

The National Weather Service’s hazardous weather outlook is still warning of wind chills of 25 below to 35 below zero through Saturday morning.

Friday is the first day Minnesotans can vote early in person for the presidential primary on March 5. In a presidential primary, each party has a specific ballot and voters request which party’s ballot they would like to use to cast their vote. Check out details and be prepared with the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office.

In North Dakota, which holds its primary election on June 11, people can vote by mail or absentee ballots beginning May 2. Learn more at the North Dakota government’s elections website.
