Although the election is still underway, it’s not too late to register to vote in several states that have already sent out ballots. Here’s how to register to vote in these eight states and Washington, DC, where voting has already started or is set to begin soon.

Minnesota

In the North Star State, voters can register either online using a paper form or at a polling place.

To register online or on paper, eligible voters will need either a Minnesota driver’s license, a Minnesota identification card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number and an email address.

When registering to vote at a polling place on Election Day or when voting early in person, a voter must bring either a state-issued identification card with name and address (including a driver’s license or tribal ID), a combination of an “approved photo ID” and a document with name and address, a registered voter or residential facility employee who can “attest” to the accuracy of your address, a combination of a voter ID and a college dorm list, valid registration in the same voting precinct, or a late registration notice received in the mail.

Under a law passed in 2023, all eligible adults who receive a state-issued ID will automatically be registered to vote.

The deadline for online voter registration before the November 5 election is October 15 at 11:59 p.m. The deadline for paper registration is October 15 at 5:00 p.m. Voters can also register at any polling station until Election Day.

The registration form must be submitted to the county auditor. Voter registration forms can be completed in person at the county auditor’s office, a driver’s license office, a municipal tax office, a welfare agency that issues food stamps, a Department of Human Services office, or a military recruiting office.
