To be eligible to vote in Minnesota, you must:
- Be a U.S. citizen.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Be a Minnesota resident for at least 20 days on Election Day.
- Maintain residence at the address on the voter registration application.
You must re-register if you have:

Pre-registration
In Minnesota, you can preregister up until 20 days before Election Day. If the election is within 20 days, you must register at your polling place on Election Day. Once you are registered, you will receive a postcard with your voting information, and your name will appear on the list of pre-registered voters at your polling place.
Election Day registration
Voters may register to vote at their polling place on Election Day by showing a valid proof of residence and completing a voter registration application. Visit the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website for a complete list of acceptable proofs of residence.
