Minnesota often leads the nation in voter turnout, and by beginning the early voting process on Sept. 18, the state law gives Minnesotans 46 days to cast their votes. Over 1.5 Million Minnesotans requested to vote by mail this November.

Polls open at 7 a.m. CT and close at 8 p.m. CT.

State Significance

For decades, Minnesota has had an unbroken Democratic streak, voting for Democratic presidential candidates as far back as Jimmy Carter in 1976. Since 1932, it has voted Republican only once -- for Richard Nixon in 1972.

However, it has been increasingly seen as a potential swing state following Trump's narrow loss in 2016 to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who won by about 44,500 votes or 1.5%.

Democratic support in Minnesota grows the closer you get to the more highly populated areas such as the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, but the president will look to pick up support from largely rural areas in northern Minnesota.
