More than 150 people registered to vote in Freeborn County during September and the first half of October, according to a voter registration spreadsheet provided by the Freeborn County Auditor/Treasurer’s Office.

Going into the general election in less than three weeks, there will be 19,340 people across the county who will have the opportunity to elect local, state and national leaders, according to the Auditor/Treasurer’s Office.

The voting registration deadline for the upcoming general election passed this week. All people who registered before Tuesday will have their name on the roster at their respective polling place. If people have not yet registered, they will have to wait until Election Day to do so.

That day, people can also update their registration information if they need to.

To register and vote in Minnesota at the polls in the upcoming election, you must:

Be at least 18 on Election Day.

Be a citizen of the United States.

Have lived in Minnesota for the 20 days immediately preceding Election Day.

Have any felony conviction record discharged, expired or completed. In Minnesota people cannot vote while serving a sentence as a result of a felony conviction. Once the full sentence is completed — including parole and probation — the right to vote is automatically restored.

Not be under court-ordered guardianship where a court has evoked your voting rights.

Not have been ruled legally incompetent by a court of law.

To register, people need to bring one of the following, with their current name and address: a valid Minnesota driver’s license, learner’s permit, identification card or receipt for any of these; a valid student ID card including their photo; a tribal ID card containing their picture and signature; a valid registration in the same precinct under a different name or address; a notice of late registration sent by the county auditor or city clerk; a voter registered in the same precinct who can confirm their address with a signed oath; or an employee of the residential facility where they live who can confirm their address with a signed oath.

Or, people can choose to provide both a photo ID that could be expired — on either a Minnesota driver’s license, a Minnesota ID card, a United States passport, a U.S. military ID card, a tribal ID card, a Minnesota college ID card — and either a utility bill due within 30 days of Election Day, a rent statement dated within 30 days of Election Day or a current student fee statement.
