Get Out and Vote Today! – Voting Info in MN

Today is the "mid-term elections". That means your vote today will decide who will be our next governor, senator, mayor, city council and many more seats.

The polls are open from 7am to 8pm. Here's more from the MN Government website:

Poll Hours: 7:00 AM-8:00 PM
For state elections, most polling places open at 7:00 a.m. All polling places close at 8:00 p.m.

Can I get time off from work to vote?
Every employee who is eligible to vote in an election has the right to be absent from work for the time necessary to appear at the employee's polling place, cast a ballot, and return to work on the day of that election, without penalty or deduction from salary or wages because of the absence. An employer or other person may not directly or indirectly refuse, abridge, or interfere with this right or any other election right of an employee.

If I did not pre-register, can I vote on election day?
Minnesota voters may register to vote on Election Day. To register at your polling location, you must provide proof of residence, complete a voter registration application, and sign an oath stating that you are eligible to vote in the precinct.
