Is there a registration deadline?

Unlike many states, you can wait until Election Day to register in Minnesota. However, we encourage you to register before Election Day—it will save you time at the polling place.

• The deadline to register online is 11:59 p.m., 21 days before Election Day.
• The deadline to register on paper is 5 p.m., 21 days before Election Day.
• Otherwise, you can register on Election Day at your polling place.
