Vacancies[edit]
- See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures
If there is a vacancy in the Minnesota State Legislature, a special election must be conducted to fill the vacant seat. It is up to the appropriate elections authorities to conduct an election as soon as possible.[4][5]
A special election must be held during the next general election if the vacancy has more than 150 days left before the unfilled term expires. If the vacancy happens in legislative session, the governor must call for an election no more than 35 days after the vacancy occurred. If there are less than 150 days left in the unfilled term and the Legislature is out of session, the governor must call for a special election as soon as possible so the winner of the election can take office when the Legislature reconvenes.[6][7]

Redistricting[edit]
2020-2022[edit]
- See also: Redistricting in Minnesota after the 2020 census
Minnesota enacted new legislative district boundaries on February 15, 2022, when a special judicial redistricting panel issued an order adopting final maps. Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea established the five-judge special redistricting panel in June 2021 to hear legal challenges regarding redistricting and adopt maps should the legislature not agree on them. The panel consisted of two state court of appeals justices and three state district court judges. Republican governors originally appointed two of the five justices, Democratic governors originally appointed two, and former Gov. Jesse Ventura (Reform) originally appointed one justice.
How does redistricting in Minnesota work? In Minnesota, congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the Minnesota State Legislature. These lines are subject to veto by the governor.[8]
The Minnesota Constitution requires "that state Senate districts be contiguous, and that Representative districts be nested within Senate districts." State statutes apply contiguity requirements to all congressional and state legislative districts. Furthermore, state statutes stipulate that political subdivisions should not be divided "more than necessary."[8]
