Minnesota Secretary of State - Photo Album (3833 words) |
 | 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). |
 | The state Constitution requires that the districts of both houses be laid out on the basis of equality of population, but this was ignored from 1913 to 1959, after which federal courts either required the legislature to draw new districts or did it themselves. |
 | Minnesota election laws provide that the political partys official nomination, the right to carry the partys 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. |
