Minnesota sees surge in new voter registrations ahead of competitive November midterm elections

Voter registrations are surging in Minnesota, especially among young adults. New state data released at the end of last week show that 52,644 new voters have registered to vote so far this year — more than double the number of new voters registered at this time in 2014, the last year in which the state held a gubernatorial election.

And two-thirds of the new voter registrations so far — 35,608 people — are 18 to 30 years old.
