Happy Election Day!

There are more than 50 elections and dozens of special elections taking place across Minnesota today. To find out who the candidates are, where to vote, and see sample ballots, head on over to MPRnews.org or the Secretary of State website.

And if you’re not registered to vote - no problem. Minnesota has same day registration right at your polling place. Just bring your Minnesota driver’s license, learner’s permit or ID; or a receipt for any of these.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear for Election Day?
