How to Vote in Minnesota
If you are a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and live in Minnesota, you have the right to vote! Anyone who has lived in Minnesota for 20 days prior to Election Day can vote.
In Minnesota, you can register to vote prior to October 13 or when you vote in person. To register when voting in person, you must have an ID with your current name and address or a photo ID and a document with your current name and address.
Minnesotans have three options for casting their vote.
Absentee Voting - Voting By Mail
Voters are never mailed a ballot without first requesting one through an absentee ballot application.
Early Voting (In-Person)
Cast your vote in person when convenient for you.
Election Day (In-Person)
Vote on Election Day at a polling location in your precinct.

You will need to re-register if your name or address changes.
