Type your city or ZIP, then your house number and street; the page suggests real addresses as you type. Your street and house number never leave your device: the page loads your city's street list and finds your ballot here, in your browser.
Take it with you: print your ballot, or save it as a PDF on your phone, and bring it when you vote. You can use it in the voting booth. Keep it to yourself and take it home after.
Step 1 · Register ahead by Tuesday, Oct. 13
Step 1 · Check the voter rolls
Make sure you're registered
Oct.13Tuesday
Tue., Oct. 13 is the last day to register or update your address ahead of time (online until 11:59 p.m.). Miss it and you can still register at the polls, but it takes longer and you'll need proof of where you live. If you haven't voted in four years, or you moved or changed your name, check now.
Oct.13Closed
Registering ahead closed on Oct. 13. You can still register, or update your address, at your polling place or while voting early. Bring proof of where you live (see step 3).
Check my registration
The Minnesota Secretary of State's lookup. Enter your name, birthday and address. It updates nightly.
If it shows
Your current address
You're all set. Go on to step 2.
If it shows
An old address or name
Update it online by Oct. 13. You'll need your Minnesota driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number. New this year: you can also update it at the polls.
Now through Mon., Nov. 2, until 5 p.m. that day. Many offices add evening and weekend hours near the end.
Not registered at your address yet? You can register right there with proof of where you live.
On Election Day
Your neighborhood polling place.
When
Tue., Nov. 3, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. A few small townships outside the Twin Cities metro open later, as late as 10 a.m. In line by 8? Stay in line. You can still vote.
Minnesota doesn't ask registered voters for ID or any other documents, early or on Election Day. Registering at the polls? Bring proof of where you live. Any one of these works: One exception: if you registered by mail, have never voted in Minnesota for a federal office, and the county couldn’t verify your driver’s license, state ID or Social Security number, you’ll need one of these the first time.
Minnesota driver's license or state ID with your current address
A tribal ID
A photo ID plus a bill due within 30 days (utility, phone, internet, bank or credit card)
A photo ID plus a lease valid through Election Day
How check-in works
You tell an election judge your own name and address. The judge finds you on the roster and you sign it. Your signature swears that you're eligible, registered at that address and haven't already voted. Giving false information there is a felony.
No proof at all?
A registered voter from your precinct can vouch for you by signing an oath in front of an election judge.
Away at college?
Register at the address you consider home now: your dorm, apartment or your parents' home. The mail-ballot application lets you use a different mailing address.
Election night: results appear on the Secretary of State's results site after polls close at 8 p.m.

Good to know
Little things that help
One vote per person
If your mail or early ballot has been accepted, the roster at your polling place shows it and you won't be given another ballot. Mailed yours? Check that it was accepted instead of going to the polls. Voting twice on purpose, or as someone else, is a felony.
Turn the ballot over
The judges and the amendment are on the back. Leaving the amendment blank counts as a No.
New this year
You can update your registration at the polls, not only register. Election judges can now vouch only for people they personally know.
Want help marking your ballot?
Bring anyone you choose, except your boss or a union officer, or ask two election judges. Every polling place has an accessible ballot-marking machine.
About the extremism check
We used the Southern Poverty Law Center's 2025 Hate Map (all 1,214 listed groups and chapters), plus militias, QAnon, Jan. 6 charges, election denial and book-ban or anti-LGBTQ campaigns. A tie means something documented and public: an endorsement, a speech, a membership. The SPLC itself was indicted in April 2026 on federal fraud charges over how it paid informants inside extremist groups (NPR). News reports don’t tie the charges to its list of groups, and every tie we report cites the candidate’s own words, records or news coverage.
