Registering and what to bring

Not registered at your current address? You can still vote.

  • Check first. Look up your registration status in a minute. If it's current, you need nothing at the polls; Minnesota has no voter ID requirement for registered voters.
  • Register when you vote. Pre-registration closed Oct 13, but you can register at your polling place on Election Day or at any early vote center. Bring proof of residence: a Minnesota driver's license or ID with your current address; or a photo ID plus a document with your current name and address (a bill, bank statement or lease); or a registered voter from your precinct who can vouch for you.

  • Time off work. Minnesota law lets you take the time you need to vote on Election Day without losing pay. Details →
