Wabana Township will be holding the event on Saturday August 13th and Sunday August 14th from 8am-4pm.

The Township also  needs volunteers to monitor the dumpsters these two days.  If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact Gary Oja at (218-259-0732).

Township Elections 2022

Minnesota is 1 of 20 states that utilize township governance. Wabana Township will be holding their elections this November.

Wondering how you can support our beautiful township?

Do you want your voice to be heard?

Now is the time.  You can sign up and run for 1 of 3 township supervisor positions that will be open along with the township clerk position.

Serving on the Wabana township board as a supervisor means you have an opportunity to be part of the decisions that form the future of our community.

Another way to serve the township is to become the township clerk! This role is instrumental to the functioning of the township and its board.

Submit your candidacy to the Township Clerk or Deputy Township Clerk (Contact Form) between August 2 – 16. The entry fee is $2.00.

The recent Warbler Newsletter provides information about the Township Board and Clerk positions which will be on the November 8 Election Ballot.

Below are links to information on serving:
