Our main jobs are maintaining township roads and running elections.

We typically meet every third Tuesday of the month at 7pm at the Dent Community Center (the former Dent School building). The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Our Annual meeting is typically held on the second Tuesday of March each year.

Please let the Clerk know at least one week before the meeting, if possible.

The township election is the 2nd Tuesday in March. Polls are usually open from 5-8 p.m. One Supervisor is elected every year. The Clerk is elected in even years and the Treasurer is elected in odd numbered years.

The filing period for township offices is open for 2 weeks. It ends one month before the election. In general, this means the filing period opens at the end of December and closes the second week in January. Please check News and Announcements for the specific dates for the current year. There is a $2.00 filing fee, payable when you file. The requirements to be an officer are the same as the requirements to be a registered voter of the township.

For Township-only elections contact the clerk. For all other elections, please visit the Minnesota Secretary of State Elections and Voting website (https://www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/)for more information on how to obtain your absentee ballot.

Contact the Otter Tail County Auditor Treasurer's Office (https://ottertailcountymn.us/department/auditor/)for all township related property tax matters.

According to township policy, invoices to be paid this month must be submitted before 5 p.m. on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. You may use mail or email. The invoices should be sent to the clerk. Invoices that are not received by the deadline for the month will be moved to the next month.

Keith Brokke is the Supervisor in charge of noxious weed control. Edna Township will provide weed control in the township road right-of-ways, but we need your help identifying the places that have noxious weeds. Edna Township will use chemical control (spraying) to control weeds. If you wish to opt out of the township spraying weeds on your property, please be sure to get this form ()to Ben as soon as possible.

Hilltop Lumber in Ottertail is one location that has the approved swing away mailbox posts.​ If you know of others, please let us know and we'll update this list.

Edna Township maintains about 55 miles of township roads - 27 miles of asphalt and 28 miles of gravel.
