MINNEAPOLIS— Election Day is November 5, and if you want to know where to vote in Minnesota, you can find the location of your polling place here.
How do you find your polling place in Minnesota?
Polling places are often located at a community center, place of worship, or school near where you live. However, they can sometimes change if a building becomes unsuitable for use or if your area has been rezoned.
This is how you find your polling station:
- Visit the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website.
- Enter your address by following the prompts.
- You can then see where your polling station is located on the website.
Can you ever vote at another polling place in Minnesota?
According to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office, if you vote in person on Election Day, you must do so at your designated polling place.
If you need to return your absentee ballot on Election Day, you must return it to the office that mailed your ballot by 8 p.m. You can also drop off your ballot in a secure mailbox before 8 p.m
What do you need to bring to vote in Minnesota?
If your voter registration is active – meaning you successfully registered 21 days before Election Day and haven’t moved or changed your name since then – you don’t need to bring your ID.
However, if you need to register to vote, update your registration, or have not voted for four years or more, you will be required to provide proof of residency, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. A list of valid ways to prove your residency can be found here.
