Here We Vote is a voter outreach and education campaign by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State challenging Minnesotans to reclaim our #1 spot in voter turnout in the nation for the 2024 general election.
How do I vote?
Voting for the November 5, 2024 General Election starts in Minnesota on September 20, 2024. To be eligible to vote, a person must be 18 or older by Election Day, a U.S. Citizen, a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days, not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction, and not under a court order that revokes your right to vote. If you are eligible to vote, you can register to vote at mnvotes.gov/register.
There are three ways to vote:
Voting information is also available in Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, Lao, Oromo, Khmer, and Amharic. Online interactive tools for voters to register to vote, check their registration, request an absentee ballot, and track their absentee or mail ballot are also available in 11 languages.
Minnesotans can call the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State at 1-877-600-VOTE (8683) to ask their voting-related questions. The call center is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
How do elections work?
Elections can seem simple: you register, vote, and find out the results. Simplicity and ease of use are not accidents – they are features of Minnesota’s carefully crafted election laws that seek to balance voter access and election security. Learn more about how elections work in Minnesota.
Become an Election Judge
For every statewide election, we need 30,000 Minnesotans to step up and serve their communities as Election Judges. These are paid temporary positions. Learn more about how to apply, who can apply, pay, the time commitment, time off from work, and student trainees.
Spread the word!
We’re on a mission to be #1 in the nation for voter turnout – and we need your help!
