deadlines come into play, no one can register to vote until the very election day
involved."
[BRM] Actually, there is a way to register during the 20-day period before the
election -- if you are voting by absentee ballot. You can vote by absentee ballot if
you can't vote in person on election day because you are away from home, ill or
disabled, an election judge serving in another precinct, or unable to go to the
polling place due to a religious holiday or beliefs. If you are eligible to vote by
absentee ballot but haven't registered yet, then you can register at the county
auditor's office up to one day before the election. See Minn. Stat. � 203B.04, subd. 4.
