While there may be no presidential candidates on the ballot today, cities across Minnesota are holding vital elections.

These city council and school board contests will go a long way toward determining what happens at the local level, in your own backyard. As a Patch reader, you probably understand very well the importance of these local elections, so we want to see you show off your civic engagement.

If you snap some photos after leaving the polling booth today, you're welcome to share them here (just click the green button below). These can include pictures of you and others wearing "I Voted" stickers, a group standing outside a polling place and more. Please include your name and city when submitting a photo.

So get out there and vote, then share your experience with Patch!
