A writ of special election was issued Friday that sets Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025 as the date for a special election to fill the District 40B House seat.

Curtis Johnson won the seat by more than 30% at the Nov. 5 election; however, a district judge ruled last Friday the DFL candidate did not meet the residency requirement to serve the district.

A special primary election for nomination of candidates, should one be necessary, would be held Jan. 14, 2025, ironically the first day of the upcoming legislative session.

Affidavits of candidacy and nominating petitions for the seat must be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State or the Ramsey County auditor by Dec. 31, 2024.

About two-thirds of District 40B is in Roseville and the remainder in Shoreview.
