Minnesota state representatives are elected every two years and senators every four years (except for a two-year term at the end of the decade when new census population figures require drawing new district lines).

Minnesota election laws provide that the political party’s official nomination, the right to carry the party’s label on the general election ballot, be conferred on the plurality winners of the primary election, in which all voters can choose in which primary to select candidates in the secrecy of the voting booth.
