Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie recently reminded eligible Minnesota voters that the deadline to pre-register to vote for the state primary is July 24.
“Election-day voter registration is an option in Minnesota, but pre-registering is a very good idea, because it saves you time when you go vote on August 14,” Secretary Ritchie said.
State law requires Minnesotans to be registered at their current address before they are allowed to vote. Registrations remain current until voters move or change their names. Voters must also re-register if they have not voted in the last four years.
Minnesotans may pre-register to vote by completing a voter registration application at their county auditor’s office or the Office of the Secretary of State. Applications are available online at public libraries.
Those who register prior to the deadline will appear in the roster at their polling place and will not have to provide additional information at the polling place on Election Day. Minnesota allows eligible voters to register on Election Day as long as they provide proper proof of residence.
