Election Day Registration

You may also register to vote at your polling place on Primary Election Day or General Election Day with acceptable identification allowed by state law:

• A Minnesota driver’s license, learner’s permit or Minnesota ID card showing your current address.
• A “Notice of Late Registration” received from Douglas County if your registration card was received after the last day to pre-register.
• A registered voter living in your precinct who will accompany you to the polling location and who will vouch for your residency.
• An existing registration in the same precinct at another address. This applies only if the voter has moved within the same precinct or changed their name.
• A combination of a valid photo ID and a current utility bill. The photo ID must be a MN Driver’s License, MN ID Card, US Passport, US Military Photo ID, MN Tribal ID Card, or MN College ID (with a fee statement). The utility bill must be one for gas, electric, telephone, cable TV, solid waste, water or sewer services. The utility bill may be an original or copy of an electronic bill which shows the voter’s name and current address in the precinct. The due date on the bill must be a bill showing a due date 30 days before or after the election.
