November 2024 General Election Registration and Voting Information

Are you registered to vote? If not, now is a great time to do so. Minnesota makes it easy to check your voter registration status, register to vote, and update your registration. Already registered to vote? It's still a good idea to confirm your registration is correct and up to date.  

Register to vote! Pre-registration for the November 2024 General Election ends October 15. If you plan to vote but miss this deadline, you can register at your polling place on Election Day.  

What to do before you vote:
