Democrats gained a majority in the general election for the Minnesota House of Representatives on November 3, 2026. All 134 seats were up for election.

Control of the chamber was split after both parties won 67 seats in the 2024 elections. At the time of the 2024 elections, the Democratic majority had been in place since 2018. From 1992 to 2026, control of the Minnesota House changed seven times, with Democrats having control for 19 years, Republicans having control for 14 years, and control being split for two.

Fifty-seven of 67 incumbent Democrats, and 50 of 66 incumbent Republicans ran for re-election. Democrats ran in all 134 districts, and Republicans ran in 117 of 134 districts. Five Republican incumbents ran for re-election in districts where Kamala Harris (D) placed first in the 2024 presidential election.

Ballotpedia identified 31 of the 134 districts as battlegrounds based on a history of recent competitive elections. Twenty-one of the battleground districts had a Republican incumbent, and 10 had a Democratic incumbent. Of the 21 battleground districts with a Republican incumbent, Democratic candidates won 10, Republican candidates won nine, and two were too close to call as of November 9, 2026. Democratic candidates won in all 10 battleground districts with Democratic incumbents.

The Minnesota House elections influenced the state's trifecta status. Heading into the election, neither party had a trifecta in Minnesota because control of the House was split. Democrats had a majority in the Minnesota Senate and Gov. Tim Walz (D) was a Democrat. In 2026, Minnesota held elections for governor, all 67 seats in the Minnesota Senate, and all 134 seats in the Minnesota House. Because Democrats won the gubernatorial election and maintained their Senate majority while winning a majority in the House, they gained a trifecta in Minnesota.

The Minnesota House of Representatives was one of 88 state legislative chambers with elections in 2026. There are 99 chambers throughout the country.
