Election Day, Tuesday November 4: Voting in Minnesota

Saturday November 1, 2008
If you haven't registered to vote, it's not too late. Minnesota has same-day voter registration. Take ID with proof of residency, such as a Minnesota drivers licence to your polling place on Tuesday, and you can register to vote right there.

Where do you vote? The Minnesota Secretary of State can find your polling place, based on your zip code.

And who are you voting for? Get a list of the candidates in local and statewide races from the Pioneer Press voter's guide.

And after you vote, Starbucks are offering free coffee if you turn in your "I Voted" sticker, and local independent coffee shop Wilde Roast Cafe in Northeast Minneapolis has a free cookie for anyone who comes in with their "I Voted" sticker. Wilde Roast Cafe coffee is much better than Starbucks.

And you don't need to vote to take advantage of this offer. Could you imagine how much your kids would complain otherwise? Ben and Jerry's are giving away free ice cream to everyone from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Election Day at participating stores.
