Voter Registration Deadline Is Today, Oct. 16

Are you registered to vote at your current address? Find out—and what to do if you're not!

Those who are eligible to vote in November's election must make sure they are registered to do so by end of business Tuesday.

In Minnesota, eligible voters must be registered at their current residence by Tuesday, Oct. 16, in order for their names to appear on the polling place roster. 

If you've moved or changed your name since the last time you voted, it's a good idea to check the state's records using their handy online voter registration lookup tool.

Any individual who will be an eligible voter on Nov. 6 may register to vote. Registration is permanent, provided the voter has not changed residence or his/her name and has voted at least once in the past four years.

Minnesota Law does allow voters to register on Election Day; however, it will take additional time at the polling place, and the voter will need to provide identification as prescribed by law. For a list of the different forms of identification that will be valid this election, check out this list the City of Minneapolis has put together.

Eligible residents can download a Voter Registration Application from the city's website. Just print the application, complete it, and return it to the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County or the Secretary of State’s office. Residents may also register in person during regular business hours.

I had the same problem. I did see a person with an "Obama for President" bumper stickerRead More and a pro- "gay" marriage sticker drive off with some plants. Another Democrat stealing property.

I am sorry to hear this happened to you. Theft from garages is kind of popular. They usually don'tRead More break in though. Glad you filed a police report and I hope you recover your property.

Sorry to say that you didn't have good information before moving to Minneapolis. Minneapolis isRead More plagued by crime, caused by the liberal mentality that prevents police from doing their jobs. Minneapolis and Hennepin County needs a strong sheriff, such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona, to clean house and really crack down on the criminals that have destroyed vast swaths of Minneapolis.

Comments from Southwest Minneapolis Patch's Facebook page: Laura Bischoff: "This all feelsRead More pretty hate-filled to me. An unfortunate outcome." Andrea Nicole Markley: "Yes, I thought the principal had done a pretty bang-up job of re-vamping Washburn's image."
