HOW TO VOTE BETTY! IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION
TUESDAY, AUGUST 11th
VOTING IN-PERSON ON ELECTION DAY
Polling locations in Minnesota will be open from 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM on Tuesday, August 11th and as long as you are in line by 8:00 PM and remain in line, you will be able to vote. Minnesota does not have a voter registration deadline and allows eligible voters to register to vote on Election Day. If you aren’t registered to vote within 21 days of Election Day, you must register at your polling location on Election Day. Read more about registering to vote on Election Day.
If you’re working on Election Day, Minnesota law provides you with the right to take paid time off work to vote without using personal leave or vacation time. The Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office has made available a letter employees can give to their employer that affirms their right to take paid time off work to vote on Election Day.
