Minnesota Voting Registers

United States Minnesota  Minnesota_Voting_Registers



To make it easier for election officials, voting registers were often arranged alphabetically by the names of citizens eligible to vote. In addition to the name and address of the voter, these may contain naturalization information and date and place of birth. There was no poll tax on persons eligible to vote in Minnesota.
