VOTE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th!
Residents of Minnesota for 20 days who are at least 18 years old and have affirmed US citizenship are able to vote now until 8 pm on November 5. Minnesotans who are living in their communities and are not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction are eligible to vote. In addition, 16-and-17-year-olds can pre-register so that they will be automatically registered on their 18th birthday.
For Minnesota to regain our top voter turnout spot, voters must get the trusted election information they need. As a voter, you have the right to time off work and can still vote from the comfort of your home. You can also now enter your ballot directly into the tabulating machine beginning 18 days before election day.
