Minneapolis Voting rules

[Swordsmyth]

[h=1]Election Day registration[/h] Use the Voter Registration Lookup to determine if you are registered under your current name and address.
You must register and vote where you live. Use the Polling Place Finder to find your polling place.
In Minnesota, you can register at your polling place on Election Day. This includes registering when you go to vote if you are voting early. The list of documents voters can show as proof of residence has been expanded.
Voters may register by providing any one of these proofs of residence:

• Valid Minnesota driver's license or learner's permit, or a receipt for either, showing current name and address in the precinct. See MN Department of Driver and Vehicle Services for additional information.
• Valid Minnesota identification card or receipt for one, showing current name and address in the precinct.
• Tribal ID containing the current name and address in the precinct, signature and picture of the individual.
• Voter Voucher - a person may vouch for another voter, signing an oath confirming personal knowledge of the address of the voter who is registering, subject to the following guidelines:
  • A voucher must be a pre-registered voter in the same precinct or a voter who registers in the same precinct on Election Day with one of the other authorized proofs of residence.
  • A person may vouch for a limit of eight voters.
  • A voter who is vouched for cannot vouch for another voter.
• Employee Voucher- must be identified on a Certified List of Employees of a Residential Facility from a facility in the precinct or have other employee ID.
  • A residential facility may vouch for an unlimited number of residents.
  • Facilities must provide the Certified List of Residential Facility Employees (pdf) to election officials 20 days prior to the election.
• Late Notice of Registration - letter mailed by election headquarters within the two weeks prior to Election Day, showing the address of the voter in the precinct. If you receive this letter, follow all instructions and bring it to your polling place.
• Previous registration in the same precinct - valid registration in the same precinct under a different name or address.
• MN post-secondary student photo ID - if your school has provided a housing list to the election officials. We have student housing lists for students living on-campus in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota, Augsburg College, North Central University, St. Catherine University, Art Institutes International, and Minneapolis College of Art & Design.

So any voter can allow eight other people to vote on his/her word and any janitor can allow an unlimited number of people to vote?

I am glad you didn't check other states. I am sure Oregon does the right thing.
