Voter Registration

In Minnesota, a person must register to vote before you can vote. There are two options for registering to vote:

• Pre-registration: you may register up to 20 days before Election Day
• On Election Day at your polling place

Your name will appear on the polling place roster if you choose to register to vote at least 20 days before Election Day. Your registration will remain current until you move, change your name or do not vote for four consecutive years.

Online Registration is Now Available

To register online you will need to have an email address and a Minnesota-issued driver's license, Minnesota ID card or last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. Visit the Secretary of State website for more information on online registration.
