Pre-Register for the Primary Election by July 19

Are you registered to vote? If you haven’t already, the last day to pre-register before the primary election is July 19.

Confirm your registration

Even if you’ve registered in the past, it’s good to confirm that your details are up to date. If you haven’t voted in the last several elections or have moved recently, your registration might be out of date. You can check your registration at mnvotes.org.

What if I’m not registered?

You can register to vote at mnvotes.org.

What if I missed the deadline to pre-register?

Don’t worry – Minnesota allows same-day voter registration at the polls. Find out what you need to bring to the polls to register.

Already have an absentee ballot?

If you’ve already received your absentee ballot in the mail, we encourage you to return it as soon as possible. Ballots must be received by August 9 to be counted.

Join the City of Hopkins and Three Rivers Park District on Thursday, July 28, at 6:30 p.m., for a Slow Roll through multiple stops. The ~2 hour experience is a fun, safe, and inclusive bike ride for people of all ages and skill levels. Follow the three-mile route, give feedback on the City’s new Park System Master Plan and explore how Hopkins is a Bicycle Friendly Community. There will be a short celebration at the end with light refreshments and giveaways. Sign up online. Spots are limited. 


National Night Out Party Registration Deadline is July 30
