The 2026 Minnesota House of Representatives election will take place on November 3, 2026. All 134 districts in the Minnesota House of Representatives will be up for election to another two-year term. Primary elections will be held on August 11, 2026.[1] Currently, 67 seats are held by Republicans and 67 seats are held by DFLers.
The election will coincide with the election of the State Senate as well as various state and local elections.
Elected members will take office on January 12, 2027.
Background
[edit]The 2024 election resulted in the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party losing a majority, as Republicans tied the chamber 67–67. The Republicans achieved a temporary majority due to a successful legal challenge in district 40B.[2] DFL representatives held a boycott of the first three weeks of the legislative sessions, in an attempt to deny the Republicans a quorum, until the two parties made a power sharing agreement on February 5, and on February 6, Republican Lisa Demuth was elected as speaker.[3][4][5] Power in the chamber fluctuated wildly as vacancies broke the tie while special elections restored it.[6] On June 14, 2025, DFL leader and former House Speaker Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home by a gunman who also attempted to assassinate a member of the Senate.[7]
