When are the elections?
Primary Election...Tuesday, September 10, 2002
General Election...Tuesday, November 5, 2002
Voting hours are from 7 am to 8 pm (voting begins at 10 am in some townships).
But I work on election day...
Minnesota law allows you to take time off from work with pay to vote during the morning of state elections. The idea is to encourage people to vote early in the day. If you will be away, take a look at the What's absentee voting? http://www.sos.state.mn.us/election/vg98.html
Who can vote?
You can vote if you are...
18 or older
a US citizen
a Minnesota resident for at least 20 days before the election
not a convicted felon without your civil rights
not under guardianship of the person
not legally incompetent
Where do I vote?
Generally you vote in the neighborhood where you live. You may call your county auditor or city clerk's office for the address of your polling place. If you recently registered to vote (see below), you will receive a post card that tells you the location of your polling place. You can also look up your polling place location on the Secretary of State's Web site.
How do I vote?
1. Register to vote.
2. Go to your polling place on election day. An election judge will check if you're on the list of voters and, if so, have you sign the list. Then you'll get a ballot. If you can't go to your polling place on election day, you can request an absentee ballot.
3. Vote! An election judge will show you how the ballot works, and you can ask for help with reading or marking the ballot if you need it. After voting, take your ballot to the ballot box. How you vote is secret. Asking people about their votes or campaigning is not allowed in or around the polling place!

Voter Registration Information
|
Before you can vote, you need to be on the official list of voters. This is called being "registered." You need to register if you just became eligible to vote, moved, changed your name or haven't voted in the last four years.
The easiest way to register is by filling out a voter registration card and mailing or dropping it off at your city clerk, county auditor or the secretary of state's office.
When you fill out the card, remember that you can only vote where you live. If you are a student living at school, you can choose whether to register at home or at school but not both!
Where can I get a voter registration card?
at state, county, or city offices and public libraries
where you apply for, renew or change your Minnesota Driver License or ID card
in state income tax booklets
from the registrar's office or student association at colleges, universities and technical schools
at many businesses, stores, and community groups
Can I register on election day?
If you miss pre-registering, you can still register on election day at your polling place. You will need proof of your identity and the address where you are living on election day. Use one of these for proof...
A current Minnesota Driver License, learner permit or identification card (or receipt for a new one) with your address
One of the above with a former address and a utility bill*
A U.S. passport or military ID card and a utility bill*
a "Notice of Ineffective Registration" card mailed to you by your county auditor (if you turned in a registration card late)
someone who is registered in the precinct where you live to vouch for you at the polling place
If you are a student, you can use...
Student photo ID, registration or fee statement with your current address
Student photo ID with utility bill*
Student photo ID if you are on a student housing list on file at the polling place
*Note: The utility bill must have your name, current address and be due within 30 days of the election. Utility bills may be for electric, gas, water, solid waste, sewer, telephone, or cable TV.
If you're registered and move within the same precinct, change your address at the polling place by submitting a new voter registration card.
Help is on the way...
If you could use some help with voting, you can ask at the polling place for aid in reading or marking your ballot. Or you can ask a friend to help you.
All polling places should be fully accessible with clearly marked accessible doors and parking spaces.
If you can't easily leave your car, you can ask for the ballot to be brought out to you in your car.
If you are confined due to illness or disability, you can vote by absentee ballot. Call your county auditor http://www.sos.state.mn.us/countyinfo.html or city clerk for details.
If you have limited vision, you may ask your county auditor http://www.sos.state.mn.us/countyinfo.html for voter registration and absentee ballot instructions in large print or on cassette tape.
What's absentee voting?
You can vote by absentee ballot if you are unable to vote in person on election day because you are...
away from home
ill or disabled
an election judge serving in another precinct
unable to go to the polling place due to a religious holiday or beliefs.
With absentee voting, you can vote either in person before election day or by mail. Call your county auditor http://www.sos.state.mn.us/countyinfo.html or city clerk for the details.
In person... Apply and/or vote during normal office hours or from 10 am to 3 pm the Saturday afternoon or until 5 pm the Monday evening before the election.
By mail... If you are in the military or outside the US, vote based on where you last lived in Minnesota. You or your parent, spouse, brother, sister, or adult child can apply for you. Make sure to apply early!
If you're in the military or outside the US, vote based on where you last lived in Minnesota. You or your parent, spouse, brother, sister, or adult child can apply for you. Be sure to apply early!
