Tuesday, November 7, is election day. Here’s what to know about voting in person on Election Day.
Find complete voter information at mnvotes.org.
Who is eligible to vote in Minnesota?
To vote, you must be:
- A U.S. citizen
- At least 18 years old on Election Day
- A resident of Minnesota for 20 days
- Not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction (more info)
- You can vote while under guardianship unless a judge specifically has revoked your right to vote.
- You cannot vote if a court has ruled that you are legally incompetent.
What time are the polls open?
The polls are typically open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., allowing voters to cast their ballots throughout the day. As long as you are in line before 8 p.m., you will have the opportunity to vote.
Where can I vote?
Visit pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us to find your polling place and complete information about voting this year. Note that there may have been changes to your poll location from previous elections due to redistricting or changes in the availability of previous facilities.
What is on the ballot this year?
The answer depends on where you live. Many Minnesotans are choosing mayors, city council members, school boards and judges. Who you vote for depends on your district. You can find a sample ballot and locate your district on the Minnesota Secretary of State website by clicking here.
I have had a previous felony conviction in my history. Do I have the right to vote?
Criminal records in Minnesota do not affect voting rights unless you are currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. Learn more about voting after a felony conviction, including if you are on parole by clicking here.
I cannot vote in person, how else can I vote?
There are many reasons why a voter may opt not to vote in person. You can vote early in Minnesota with an absentee ballot starting 46 days before Election Day. You can request an absentee ballot online for federal, state, and county elections. You can read about other options and more information about absentee voting at the links below.
