Voting Resources
Check or Update your Registration
You can register to vote on the day of an election in Minnesota, but it may save you some time to register in advance.
Request an Absentee Ballot
Minnesota allows you to vote early with an absentee ballot starting 46 days before Election Day. You can request an absentee ballot online for federal, state, and county elections.
Where to Vote
All voters have at least one location where they can vote early in person with an absentee ballot. View the list of voting locations for upcoming elections, or contact your county election office.
Register to Vote
All eligible adults will be automatically registered to vote when they get a state-issued ID. If you submit a Change of Address with USPS, that may also trigger an update of your registration.
Online
It’s quick and easy! To register online you will need:
Your Minnesota driver’s license or Minnesota identification card number, or the last four numbers of your Social Security number
An email address
You will need to re-register if your name or address changes.
In-Person
Use a paper form. Download a voter registration form to print, complete, and return to your local elections office.
Register when you vote. In Minnesota voters can register at polling places on Election Day or early voting locations before Election Day.
