Register to vote

Election Day, held on Nov. 3, is mere weeks away. Minnesota offers online voter registration. Voters can register by mail to vote in Minnesota by printing a voter registration form, filling it out and mailing it to your local election office.

• be a citizen of the United States
• be a resident of Minnesota for 20 days before the next election
• maintain residence at the address given on the registration form
