Elections for all 134 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives will be held on November 3, 2026.
Control of the chamber is split after both parties won 67 seats in the 2024 elections. Democrats had held a majority in the chamber since 2018. In the 35 years 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. Control of the chamber will change this year unless Democrats and Republicans each win 67 seats again.
Fifty-seven of 67 incumbent Democrats and 50 of 66 incumbent Republicans are running for re-election. Democrats are running in all 134 districts and Republicans are running in 117 of 134 districts. Five Republican incumbents are running 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 have a Republican incumbent and 10 have a Democratic incumbent.
The Minnesota House elections could change the state's trifecta status. Neither party has a trifecta in Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz is a Democrat and Democrats have a majority in the Minnesota Senate. Minnesota is also holding elections for governor and all 67 seats in the Minnesota Senate. If one party wins the gubernatorial election as well as majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, that party will win a trifecta.
The Minnesota House of Representatives is one of 88 state legislative chambers with elections in 2026. There are 99 chambers throughout the country.
