Election Day is Tuesday. Here’s how to vote in Minnesota.

To be eligible to vote, a person must be 18 or older by Election Day, a U.S. citizen, a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days, not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction, and not under a court order revoking a right to vote.

The deadline to register to vote before Election Day was Oct. 15. However, Minnesotans can still register to vote on Election Day.

There are three ways to vote:

By mail: Mail and absentee ballots must be received by local election offices by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Voters can track their ballot at mnvotes.gov/trackmyballot.

Early in-person: Residents can vote absentee in person at their local election office during business hours until Nov. 4. There also are special early voting hours on: Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Monday, Nov. 4, open until 5 p.m.

In-person on Election Day: Minnesotans can vote in person at their local polling place on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Polling places can be located at mnvotes.gov/pollfinder. All polling places generally open from 7 to 8 a.m. and are open until 8 p.m. If voters are in line to vote by 8 p.m. they can vote. In Minnesota, people can register to vote on Election Day.

If you have questions

Minnesotans may contact the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State by phone call or text message. They can call 1-877-600-VOTE (8683) or text 651-217-3862 to get information from election workers. The service is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday and during the expanded early voting hours: Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and on Monday, Nov. 4, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
