You may also call the Kanabec County Auditor/Treasurer's Office at (320) 679-6430 and request one be mailed to you or your can print one by clicking here.
To register on election day, you must bring identification showing your current address to provide proof of residency, and a photo ID to establish your identity. Valid proof of identity includes any of the following:
MN driver's license, learner's permit or identification card showing current address
Previous registration from the same precinct
A notice of late or ineffective registration sent to you by your county auditor or city clerk
A registered voter from your precinct who personally knows you reside in the precinct and will vouch for your identity by a signed oath
A photo ID and a current utility bill due within 30 days of the election, showing your name and address in the precinct
you can vote early by using an absentee ballot instead of voting at your polling place on Election Day. Please click on this link to the Secretary of State's Office for instructions and how to obtain an absentee ballot.
A change of name or address of a previously registered voter requires a new registration and new signature from the applicant. It is important to update your voter information to verify you vote will count in the next election.
