Minnesota’s next two election dates are coming up quickly! Primary Election Day is August 13, 2024, and General Election Day is November 5, 2024. Registering early can save you time at the polling place and ensure a smooth voting experience.
Who can vote?
To vote, you must be:
- A U.S. Citizen
- At least 18 years old on Election Day
- A resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days
- Not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction
- Not under a court order that revokes your right to vote
To register to vote online or update your registration, visit mnvotes.sos.mn.gov/voterstatuscheck/index.
Pre-registration closes 21 days before each election. If you don’t pre-register, you can still register at your polling place on Election Day.
Voting is a critical part of our democratic process, and there are multiple ways to cast your vote this election season. If you prefer to vote absentee, you can request an absentee ballot by visiting mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/abrequest/index.
Your returned ballot must be postmarked and received by the County on or before Election Day to be counted.
You can also track your absentee ballot’s status by visiting mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/abstatus/index and providing the same ID number used on your application.
For in-person voting, make sure to check your polling place details and plan accordingly. Every vote counts, so make sure yours is heard!
