Notes on the official list

  • The Secretary of State's candidate filing site (candidates.sos.mn.gov) showed a bot check we could not pass. We took the list instead from the Secretary of State's candidate table for the November 3 election, posted on its election results file server and last updated October 27, 2026. That table does not say it is certified or final.
  • The November 3 results files on that server currently hold test vote counts. We used only the candidate table, not any vote numbers. We checked each Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican nominee against the Secretary of State's August 11, 2026 primary results.
  • The candidate table gives parties as codes (R, DFL, LIB, IND, GP). We used the party names from the Secretary of State's party table: Republican, Democratic-Farmer-Labor, Libertarian, Independent and Green. We could not check the exact wording printed on the ballot.
  • Minnesota elects the governor and lieutenant governor as a joint ticket. The ballot lines read 'Steven Young and Jane Kirby', 'Amy Klobuchar and Ben Schierer' and 'Lisa Demuth and Ryan Wilson'; we list only the governor candidate's name.
  • The candidate table does not mark incumbents, so we set none. Candidates are listed in the order of the state's table.
