Congressional Districts

Due to the results of the 2020 census, Minnesota is expected to LOSE one seat in the House of Representatives in 2022. This will result in redistricting and the redrawing of all the districts in the state. It is likely that Minnesota will have 7 (not 8) Congressional districts in the 2022 election.
