Overview
- Voters in House Districts 47A and 64A are casting ballots Tuesday in contests that will determine control of the Minnesota House.
- In 47A east of St. Paul, Democrat Shelley Buck is the only name on the ballot, though voters may write in a candidate.
- In 64A within Ramsey County, Democrat Meg Luger-Nikolai faces Republican Dan Walsh in a district that gave Democrats more than 83% of the vote in 2024.
- Polls close at 8 p.m. local time (9 p.m. ET), and the Associated Press plans to treat 47A as uncontested and call it at poll close unless there is evidence of an organized write-in effort.
- Minnesota has no automatic recounts for legislative races, and a losing candidate may seek a publicly funded recount only if the margin is under 0.5% of the total vote.
