How to register
Pre-registration is now closed for the Nov. 4 election. However, voters can register at polling places on Election Day or when they vote early with an absentee ballot.
Check your registration status and find more information at the Minnesota secretary of state’s voter registration page.
Sample ballot
To see who’ll be on your ballot, check the Secretary of State’s Minnesota sample ballot page.
How to vote on election day
As long as you haven’t already voted early, the vast majority of Minnesotans — and everyone in the metro — can vote in person at their designated polling place.
To find out where to vote, visit the Minnesota Secretary of State’s online polling place finder at pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us.
Polls typically will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., except possibly in some very small communities, which are allowed to open later.
How to vote absentee
You can go online to request an absentee ballot be mailed to you. You can return it by mail, or deliver it in person to your local elections office before Election Day. Mailed ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day. You can track the status of your absentee ballot online.
You can vote early with an absentee ballot at your local elections office. Some cities and towns also offer in-person absentee voting. If you are not registered, you can do so in person if you show proof of residence.
All voters have at least one location where they can vote early in person with an absentee ballot. To see a list of voting locations before Election Day go to here or contact your county election office.
