Eden Prairie Local News is mailing 3,500 additional copies of its Election 2026 Voter Guide to households previously missed during the distribution process. The effort aims to ensure complete coverage for the upcoming election after a routing error caused the original exclusion.
Why it matters
Distributing the guides serves to uphold a commitment to provide equitable election information to all residents. By covering the missing routes, the organization ensures voters have access to the necessary resources ahead of the polls.
The supplementary mailing of 3,500 guides cost $4,000, adding to the initial $12,000 budget for the Voter Guide. Hard copies are also available for pickup in the lobby of the Eden Prairie Library.

Residents in the previously omitted routes should expect their guides to arrive in their mailboxes this week. Those who still do not receive a copy can visit the Eden Prairie Library to pick up the materials in person.
