At 7:00 AM CST this morning, polls opened in Minnesota. Don't know where to vote? Click here to find your polling location. All polling places close at 8:00 p.m. If you are in line at your polling place between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., you must be allowed to vote.

To vote in Minnesota, you must:

be at least 18 years old
have resided in Minnesota for at least 20 days immediately preceding Election Day
be a citizen of the United States
live in the precinct in which you are voting

If you aren't registered to vote yet, that's not a problem. Minnesota allows you to register and vote at the polls on Election Day. Here's what you need:

A MN driver's license, MN state ID card, or tribal ID with your photo, name, current address, and signature.

A photo ID plus a current utility bill in your name.
Acceptable Photo IDs: MN driver's license or ID (with old address--not expired), Tribal ID without an address, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID, MN student ID.
Utility Bills (due within 30 days of November 4th): Gas, electric, solid waste, sewer, phone (any kind: land line, cell, VOIP), TV (cable, satellite), Internet, rent statement with itemized utilities, current student fee statement.

If you don't have any of these things, that's okay! You just need a voucher -- someone registered to vote in your precinct who can swear that you live there.

Don't forget to remind all your friends and family to vote today!

Cast your vote today!
