Election Day is not for another 49 days, but voting is already underway in some key states as the presidential campaign hits the home stretch.

While voting is underway, it is not too late to register to vote in several states that have already sent out ballots. Here is how to register to vote in these eight states and Washington, D.C., where voting has begun or is slated to start 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 via paper form, eligible voters need either a Minnesota driver’s license, Minnesota identification card number, or the last four digits of his or her social security number, along with an email address.

When registering to vote at a polling place either on Election Day or during in-person early voting, a voter must bring either a state-issued ID 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 staff member of a residential facility who can “vouch” that your address is correct, a combination of a voter ID and a student housing list, a valid registration within the same voting precinct, or a notice of late registration received in the mail.

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

The deadline for voters to register to vote online before the Nov. 5 election is 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 15, while the deadline for those applying via paper form is 5 p.m. on Oct. 15. Voters can also register at any polling place through Election Day.
