Minnesota Legislature
Election Day's just around the corner. What's next after the ballots are counted?
By Mike Cook
Will there again be 67 members of the DFL and Republican parties in the 2027-2028 legislative biennium? Will one side of the aisle be in the majority?
Hopefully, we’ll know the answer to those principal questions after Tuesday’s election results are known.
Myriad questions abound about who, what and when as the incoming majority party — or both — begins to get the House in order before members convene on Jan. 12, 2027.
