VOTER REGISTRATION

In Minnesota, you do not need an ID on election day.

If you are pre-registered, simply show up to your correct polling place on election day, provide your first and last name, verify your address, and you're done! You may already be pre-registered.

Check on your voter registration status at https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/VoterStatus.aspx

You may register on election day, but it is so much easier if you get registered beforehand. You can get pre-registered up until 20 days before Election Day.

2022 MN PRIMARY ELECTION FUN FACTS

All county, statewide, and federal races move on to the general election in November.
This Primary Election is partisan. Voters may not "mix and match" parties, but will have a chance to do so in the General Election in November.
In Minnesota, it is illegal for an election judge to request to see a Driver's License or other ID.
Minnesota residents are allowed to request an absentee ballot every day of the year, except on Election Day.
In special situations, you may ask an agent to pick up and return an absentee ballot for you, also called “agent delivery.” Learn more at https://www.sos.state.mn.us/.../other.../vote-early-by-mail/
Election Judges perform sensitive tasks, like end-of-day ballot delivery with a party-balance, meaning at least two election judges from different parties must perform the task together.
Peaceful Observers are allowed to watch Election Judges perform closing duties.
