In order to be an eligible voter in Minnesota, you must be:

• A U.S. citizen
• At least 18 years old on Election Day
  *To pre-register to vote at age 17 in Minnesota, you must be at least 18 years old when the next election occurs (special, township, state primary, or state general). Because special elections can be called at unexpected times, your application may be returned if an election becomes scheduled between the date you register and your birthday. If that happens, simply wait until that election passes, and submit your registration again.
• A resident of Minnesota for 20 days
• Finished with all parts of any felony sentence
• You can vote while under guardianship unless a judge specifically has revoked your right to vote
• You cannot vote if a court has ruled that you are legally incompetent.
• If you are a college student that is at least 18 years old on Election Day and a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days, you can vote in Minnesota’s election. Paying out-of-state tuition or having a driver’s license from another state does not necessarily mean you can’t vote in Minnesota. Click to find more information about voting as a college student.
