In 2020, Minnesota broke a record when 79.9 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots in the general election and has led the nation in voter turnout three of the last four years.
In 2022, Maine, Oregon and Wisconsin beat us for the top spot — they were all above 60 percent voter turnout, while Minnesota was at 59 percent.
So, what can we expect to happen this year? What’s in the works to try to help Minnesota reclaim the top spot as the number one state for voter turnout?
And what are election officials doing to ensure the election system is fair?
MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests explore what we know about who votes, who is less likely to vote — and why — and what you can do to boost voter turnout this election year.
