Minnesota is currently divided into eight congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2020 census, the number of Minnesota's seats remained unchanged.

Minnesota statutes do not require candidates for the United States House of Representatives to reside in the district in which they run for office, but candidates must be inhabitants of the state at the time of the election.[1][2]

Obsolete districts

Districts

Minnesota currently has eight congressional districts. There were 9th and 10th districts but they were eliminated in 1963 and 1933 respectively. Redistricting is done every 10 years to reflect population shifts within the United States.

Minnesota is projected to lose its 8th congressional district after the 2030 Census, based on analysis of yearly Census Bureau population estimates.[6][7] Minnesota narrowly avoided the same fate after the 2020 Census.[8]

Importance in state government

Congressional districts are also used to ensure regional representation on other government bodies within the state. The following entities are required by state statute to have at least one member from each congressional district:
