Minnesota voter registration deadlines
- In Person: Election Day.
- By Mail: Received by 5 p.m. on the 21st day before Election Day.
- Online: 11:59 p.m. on the 21st day before Election Day.
- Election Day Registration: If you missed the voter registration deadline, you can still register to vote and cast a ballot at the same time during the in-person absentee voting period (early voting) or on Election Day. Simply go to your regular in-person absentee voting site, or to your regular polling place, to register and vote. You should bring a valid and current Minnesota driver's license, learner's permit, ID card (or receipt for one of these IDs), or a Tribal ID. If the ID does not list your current name and address, bring it or a different photo ID in addition to a document with your current name and address. The document can be a utility bill, credit card or banking statement, or mortgage or lease statement due or dated within 30 days of the election; a current lease; or a student fee statement. It can be shown on your electronic device. See the state of Minnesota's guidance to Register to Election Day, and contact your Local Election Office if you have any questions.
