All 134 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives were up for election on November 5, 2024.
At the time of the election, Democrats held a 68-64 majority in the chamber with two vacancies. Following the election, the chamber was evenly split with 67 Democrats and 67 Republicans.
Democrats lost majority control of the chamber in this election as a result of the split after having previously won control in 2018.
Final control of this chamber was determined by two recounts.[1][2] Minnesota automatically holds recounts if a post-election audit finds that an error occurred. A losing candidate can also request a recount paid for by the state if the final margin is less than 0.5% of the total number of votes cast.[3] The race in House District 54A fell within the margin where a state-funded candidate-requested recount was possible, while Sherburne County announced it would pay for a recount for House District 14B despite the vote total falling outside the margin:
- In House District 14B, incumbent Dan Wolgamott (D) led Sue Ek (R) 10,005 to 9,814 votes, a margin of 191 votes, or 0.96% of the total votes cast.[4] Sherburne County released a statement that an upload failure on election night made it appear that Ek initially won by four votes and that the county would pay for a recount.[5] The recount reflected that Wolgamott won by 190 votes, one fewer than the original count.[1]
- In House District 54A, incumbent Brad Tabke (D) led Aaron Paul (R) 10,973 to 10,959 votes, a margin of 14 votes, or 0.06% of the total votes cast.[6] The recount reflected that Tabke won by 15 votes, one more than the original count.[1]
Because Democrats won the recounts in both House District 14B and 54A, the chamber was split 67-67. This last occurred following the 1978 elections.[2]
Before the election, the MinnPost reported that House Democrats campaigned on legislation they passed since the party gained control of the Minnesota Senate in 2023, while Republicans campaigned on balancing political control of the Minnesota Legislature.[7] House Speaker Melissa Hortman (D) said she believed the Legislature faced gridlock when control was split between chambers.[7] House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth (R) said she believed Democratic control of the Legislature and governorship was detrimental to Minnesota.[7]
Both parties set fundraising records in 2024, with the Democratic caucus raising $5.5 million and the Republican caucus raising $1.8 million as of September 25.[8]
Ballotpedia identified 34 battleground districts. Democrats represented 17 of these districts and Republicans represented 17. Incumbents ran in 28 of these races, while the other six were in open districts, meaning no incumbents ran. Democrats won 14 of the races in battleground districts, and Republicans won 20.

One incumbent lost in a primary. Twenty incumbents did not seek re-election, a 50% decrease from the 40 incumbents who retired in 2022. To read more about incumbents who did not advance to the general election, click here.
Minnesota was one of 17 states that had a Democratic trifecta, since Democrats controlled the governorship and both legislative chambers. The outcome of this election changed Minnesota's trifecta status to a divided government, as Democrats lost control of the House. Ballotpedia identified Minnesota's Democratic trifecta as moderately vulnerable leading up to the election. To read more about trifecta vulnerability in the 2024 elections, click here.
Fifteen of the chamber's 134 seats were decided by a margin of victory of 5.0% or less in the 2022 elections.
The Minnesota House of Representatives was one of 85 state legislative chambers with elections in 2024 across 99 chambers throughout the country. The primaries were held on August 13, 2024.
Aftermath of elections
The results of two House races were contested. A reversal of either result could have broken the 67-67 tie in the chamber.
- December 2, 2024: Minnesota House Republicans filed a lawsuit pursuing a rerun of the District 54A race. A recount showed Rep. Brad Tabke (D) won by 15 votes. However, a post-election audit revealed that 21 absentee ballots were lost in Scott County.[9]
- December 16, 2024: A Scott County judge heard oral arguments in the case.[10]
- January 7, 2025: House Republican Leader Lisa Demuth (R) said the Republican caucus may not seat Tabke regardless of the judge's decision in the case.[11]
- January 14, 2025: Dakota County Judge Tracy Perzel ruled Tabke the winner of the District 54A race, denying Paul's request for a special election.[12]
- November 20, 2024: Paul Wikstrom (R) filed a lawsuit arguing that his opponent Curtis Johnson (D), who defeated Wikstrom 65%-35% in the general election for House District 40B, did not live in the district.[13]
- December 20, 2024: A district court judge ruled that Johnson did not meet the residency requirement and that a special election would be held for the seat, giving Republicans a one-seat majority of 67-66 during the vacancy.[14]
- December 27, 2024: Gov. Tim Walz (D) scheduled a special election for the seat to be held on January 28, 2025.[15]
- January 6, 2025: Minnesota Republicans filed a lawsuit arguing that the special election was scheduled too soon.[16]
- February 5, 2025: Walz rescheduled the special election for March 11, 2025.[17]
Additional updates
- January 6, 2025: The House Democrats said they may prevent a 68-member quorum by not showing up for the legislative session's first two weeks. House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman (D) said, "If there is no power-sharing agreement, we will not be here."[18]
- January 12, 2025: The House Democrats swore their members into office during a private ceremony. Hortman said she wanted the members to be "properly and legally sworn in" in case they were not there to be sworn in at the start of the legislative session on January 14, 2025.[19]
- February 5, 2025: Minnesota House Democrats and Republicans reached a deal over chamber control. The deal provided that House Republican Leader Lisa Demuth would serve as Speaker through 2026 and that Republicans would chair all committees until the chamber expectedly returned to a 67-67 tie after the March 11 special election, from which point forward the parties would co-chair all committees.[20]
Election recount
In House District 14B, incumbent Dan Wolgamott (D) led Sue Ek (R) 10,005 to 9,814 votes, a margin of 191 votes, or 0.96% of the total votes cast.[21] Sherburne County released a statement that an upload failure on election night made it appear that Ek initially won by four votes and that the county would pay for a recount.[5] The recount reflected that Wolgamott won by 190 votes, one fewer than the original count.[1]
In House District 54A, incumbent Brad Tabke (D) led Aaron Paul (R) 10,973 to 10,959 votes, a margin of 14 votes, or 0.06% of the total votes cast.[22] The recount reflected that Tabke won by 15 votes, one more than the original count.[1]
On January 14, 2025, a district court judge ruled Tabke the winner of the race following a lawsuit.[12] Minnesota House Republicans sued for a rerun of the race after a post-election audit revealed that 21 absentee ballots were lost in Scott County.[23]

Legislative referrals
- See also: Legislative referral
A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.
As of the 2024 election, a simple majority vote was required during one legislative session for the Minnesota State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 68 votes in the Minnesota House of Representatives and 34 votes in the Minnesota State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments did not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot. Ratifying an amendment requires a 'Yes' vote from a simple majority of all voters casting a ballot in the election, rather than a simple majority of those voting on the question.
At the time of the 2024 election, there was a 33-33 party split in the Senate and Democrats held 68-64 majority in the House. Democrats needed to win one Senate seat to be able to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans needed to win one Senate seat and four House seats to have the same ability.

In addition to the affidavit of candidacy and nominating petition, a minor party or independent candidate is liable for the same filing fee as a major party candidate. A nominating petition may be used in lieu of paying the filing fee, but the petition must include a prominent statement informing signers that the petition will be used in this way.[29][32]
Candidates must file between the 84th day preceding the primary election and the 70th day preceding the primary. Candidates for federal office must file with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
