Voter registration

You must be registered to vote. If you have changed your name or address since registering, you must complete a new registration card. By registering prior to election day, your name and address will appear on the polling place roster. An individual may register any time before the 20th day preceding any election, on election day at the polling locations, or when submitting an absentee ballot.
Registration cards are available at city and township offices, libraries and the county auditor’s office, which in Hennepin County is on the sixth floor of the Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. You may print a copy of the registration card by accessing http://www.co.hennepin.mn.us/taxsvcs/vote/VoterRegForms/voteregEnglish.p.... If you have changed your address, you may register to vote when you change your driver’s license.
If you are not able to preregister, you can register on election day. To do so, you must provide election judges at your polling location with certain acceptable forms of identification to prove your eligibility, such as:
1. A Minnesota Driver’s License, Learner’s Permit or Identification Card with your current address (or the receipt for renewal or change of the license or I.D.).
2. A “Notice of Late Registration” received from your city clerk if your voter registration card was received after the last day to preregister.
3. One of the following documents that contains your name and photo: Minnesota driver’s license or identification card with a previous address, U.S. passport, U.S. military identification card or student identification card from a Minnesota college and a bill for electric, water, gas, telephone, cable TV, sewer or solid waste services with a due date within 30 days of the election that contains your name and current address.
4. Another registered voter living in your precinct who will come to the polling location with you to vouch for your residency.
5. If you are a college student, you may also use your college student identification card with name and photo if your college has provided a list of students to the county.
