Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon will visit high schools across the state to promote the new law that allows 16 and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote as of June 1, 2023.
About Voter Preregistration
Any 16- or 17-year-old Minnesotan who would be otherwise eligible to vote can now preregister to vote in the first election after they turn 18. To preregister, Minnesotans can fill out the same online voter registration form (mnvotes.gov/register) used by those over 18. Once their information is submitted and verified, the corresponding county election office will process the application and add the record to the Statewide Voter Registration System. Records are then automatically updated to registered status when preregistered voters turn 18.
