Employees in Minnesota are allowed time off from work to vote on the morning of Election Day.[2] Minnesota is also one of the first states to adopt same-day registration in the 1970s. Minnesota is known for a politically active citizenry, with populism being a longstanding force among the state's political parties. Minnesota has consistently high voter turnout; in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, 77.8% of eligible Minnesotans voted – the highest percentage of any U.S. state or territory – versus the national average of 61.7%.[3] This was due in part to its same day voter registration laws; previously unregistered voters can register on election day, at their polls, with evidence of residency.[4]
In a 2020 study, Minnesota was ranked as the 15th easiest state for citizens to vote in.[5]
