City of Minneapolis issued the following announcement on Oct. 10.
Tuesday, Oct. 13, is the deadline to pre-register to vote in Minnesota. Each election cycle, pre-registration closes 21 days before the election. This ensures that all voter records are updated by Election Day. While not mandatory, pre-registering to vote will save an unregistered voter time on Election Day and will decrease the amount of time they need to physically be in the polling place.
In Minnesota, we have same-day voter registration. Any voter who misses the pre-registration deadline may register or update their registration at their polling place on Election Day. To register in person on Election Day, a voter will need proof of residence.
As of the State primary Aug. 11, Minneapolis had approximately 260,000 registered voters. That’s about 85% of the estimated number of voting age citizens (18 or older) in the city, which means approximately 45,000 potential Minneapolis voters are not yet registered.
