Q. Can I register to vote on Election Day?

A. Yes. You can register at your polling place on Election Day. You will need one of the following to verify your residence:

• A current, valid Minnesota Driver's License, learner's permit, identification card (or receipt for a new one), or a tribal ID containing your address in the precinct.
  • If you have one of these documents but it does not have your current address, you may use it in conjunction with a utility bill that has your name, current address, and is dated within 30 days of the election.
• Some form of identification (e.g., US passport, US military card, or student identification card) that includes your name and photo AND an original bill for water, sewer, gas, electric, phone/cell phone, solid waste or cable television services that includes your name and current address in the precinct and has a due date within 30 days of election day.
• A person who is registered in the precinct where you live to vouch for your residence. If you live in a residential facility (e.g. nursing home, homeless shelter), an employee of that facility may vouch for you provided they have submitted the names of their employees to your county — ask today if they are prepared!
• Valid registration at another address in the same precinct.
• A "Notice of Late Registration" card mailed to you by your county auditor (if you turned in a registration card late).
• If you are a student, you can also use one of the following documents:
  • Student photo ID, registration or fee statement with your current address.
  • Student photo ID if you are on a student housing list on file at the polling place.
