How can I make sure that I am registered?
We registered at the poll two years ago and voted, of course, but never received any registration card, or something. At caucus night I just showed up and signed the list, but did not have to prove my eligibility to vote.

How can I make sure that we are on the list? Or, I suppose, we can always register again at the poll...

3. MN voter reg.
If you have a valid driver's license, and your correct address
is on it, then you're registered.  If your address is
outdated, you might need either a utility bill or two or
someone to vouch for you who's registered in your precinct.

Thanks, motor voter bill!

4. Only one utility bill would be needed
The idea is to verify that you are you and that you live where you live.

You should be fine.

5. Do you have a driver's license with your current address?
That's all you need to register at the polls.

If not, here is the full list from the MN Sec of State website:

You can register at your polling place on election day. You will need one of the following to verify your residence.

* Minnesota driver’s license, learner’s permit, identification card, or receipt for one, with your current address,
* Tribal ID where authorized, with your current address
* If the Minnesota license or ID has a former address, you may bring a recent utility bill* to use with your license
* “Notice of Late Registration” postcard
* U.S. passport with utility bill*
* U.S. military photo ID card with utility bill*
*

If you are a student, you can use...

*

Student ID, registration, or fee statement with your current address
*

Student photo ID with utility bill*
*

Student ID if you are on a student housing list on file at the polling place

*

Someone who is registered in the precinct where you live who will vouch for your residence

* Note: The utility bill must have your name, current address, and be due within 30 days of the election. Utility bills may be for electric, gas, water, solid waste, sewer, telephone, or cable TV.

7. registration
There was a radio news report this morning about some guy who kept 300 voter registrations and did not submit them to the state attorney general as required by law. It appears that he was trying to keep these 300 people from voting.

It makes me wonder = has this happened in other areas throughout the country where they do not allow you to register on election day?

What further steps can be taken to avert voter registration fraud?
