Ask MPR Mailbag
September 12, 2006I just moved to Minnesota, can I vote?
I have been a registered voter in the state of North Dakota and currently have a North Dakota driver's license. However, I am now a student at Hamline University and reside in Bloomington. I have lived in Minnesota for six weeks and intend to remain in this state indefinitely. Can I vote? If so, will a cable or insurance bill suffice for proof of residence.

Dear Craig, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office, you are eligible to vote if you are:
You can register to vote at your polling place on election day, but you will need to provide one of the following forms of identification:
If you are a student, you can use...
*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, cell phone or cable TV
So it would appear that you can use a cable bill if it has your current address and is due within 30 days of the election, if you also bring your Hamline University ID to your polling place. For more information, you may want to check out the web site for the Secretary of State's office, which you will find here.
