Voter Registration
Here We Vote!
Here We Vote is a voter outreach and education campaign by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State challenging Minnesotans to reclaim our #1 spot in voter turnout in the nation for the 2024 general election.
How do I vote?
Voting for the November 5, 2024 General Election starts in Minnesota on September 20, 2024. To be eligible to vote, a person must be 18 or older by Election Day, a U.S. Citizen, a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days, not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction, and not under a court order that revokes your right to vote. If you are eligible to vote, you can register to vote at mnvotes.gov/register.
There are three ways to vote
By Mail
Minnesotans can vote by mail by requesting a ballot at mnvotes.gov/absentee starting September 20. About 150,000 Minnesotans live in mail ballot precincts and will be mailed a ballot automatically if they are registered to vote. Ballots must be received by local election offices by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. You can track your ballot at mnvotes.gov/trackmyballot.
