SAINT PAUL — Today, Secretary of State Steve Simon is reminding
Minnesotans that the deadline to pre-register to vote for the November 8
General Election is one week away—Tuesday, October 18. Currently, 3,204,503
Minnesotans are registered to vote, the largest number Minnesota has ever seen
ahead of Election Day.
Eligible Minnesotans can register to vote online at mnvotes.org until 11:59
p.m. on October 18, or return a paper voter registration application to the
Office of the Secretary of State or their local elections office by 5 p.m.
Voters who do not pre-register may register at their polling place on Election
Day.
Voter registration applications are also
available at every state agency, all 87 county offices throughout the state,
and online in English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese,
Lao, Oromo, Khmer, Amharic, and Karen. To request an application in an
alternative format such as Braille, please call 1-877-600-8683
Minnesotans who are already registered to vote can confirm that
their voter registration information is up to date at mnvotes.org, and should
encourage their friends, family and co-workers to do the same. While Minnesota
has more than 3.2 million registered voters, there are an additional 800,000
citizens who are eligible but have not yet registered to vote.
