To register to vote in Minnesota, you must:
– be a U.S. citizen
– be a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days before the next election
– maintain residence at the address given on the registration form
– be at least 18 years old on election day
– if previously convicted of a felony, have a sentence that has expired or been completed, have been discharged from the sentence
– not be under a court-ordered guardianship in which the right to vote has been revoked
– not be found by a court to be legally incompetent to vote

You can pre-register to vote in Minnesota if you will turn 18 years old by the next election.

Because special elections can be called at unexpected times, your application may be returned if an election becomes scheduled in between the date you register and your birthday. If that happens, simply wait until that election passes, and register again.

ID is not required in Minnesota unless you are voting for the first time in a federal election (Presidential or Congressional), or if you are a first-time voter who registered by mail and did not provide identification with your registration.

Valid forms of ID include any current and valid photo identification, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address. You can also use a combination of documents, as listed here.
