How this guide is made

Constitutional Amendment

The wording of the amendment is copied word for word from the Secretary of State's official ballot wording. The "what your vote means" lines and plain-words summaries are ours, and each line links to its source.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Secretary of State's official candidate list for the November 3, 2026 State General Election ↗, in the order of the official list (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Where a candidate lives is the city given on public candidate lists or news reports; we leave it out when we could not confirm it. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the Minnesota's 2022 state Senate and House districts, drawn by a court panel after the 2020 census. Your sample ballot is the final word.
