• are a citizen of the United States;
• will have resided in Minnesota for 20 days immediately preceding election day;
• maintain residence at the address given on the registration form;
• are not under court-ordered guardianship in which the court order revokes my right to vote;
• have not been found by a court to be legally incompetent to vote;
• have the right to vote because, if I have been convicted of a felony, my felony sentence has expired (been completed) or I have been discharged from my sentence, and have read and understand this statement, that giving false information is a felony punishable by not more than 5 years imprisonment or a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.

How do I become an election judge?
Serving as an Election Judge is an excellent way to get involved within your community. You will learn election procedures, and ensure that elections are administered in a fair manner. Election Judges are an essential part of our democracy and are needed more than ever.  If you are interested in learning more about being an Election Judge, contact City Hall 763-784-2792.

How do I vote absentee?

• Absent from your precinct
• Illness or disability
• Serving as an election judge in another precinct
• Religious discipline or religious holiday or observance
• Eligible emergency declared by the governor or quarantine declared by the federal or state government
