The2016 Minnesota House of Representatives election was held in theU.S. state ofMinnesota on November 8, 2016, to elect members to theHouse of Representatives of the90th Minnesota Legislature . A primary election was held in several districts on August 9, 2016. The election coincided with theelection of the other house of theLegislature , theSenate .
TheRepublican Party of Minnesota won a majority of seats, remaining the majority party, followed by theMinnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL). The new Legislature convened on January 3, 2017.
Thelast election resulted in theRepublican Party of Minnesota winning a majority of seats, after losing a majority to theMinnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) only two years earlier in theprevious election . This resulted in split control of the Legislature for the first time since 2006, ending eight years of unified control by either the DFL or the Republicans as well as ending two years of all-DFL control of the Legislature and governorship.
The 134 members of the House of Representatives were elected fromsingle-member districts viafirst-past-the-post voting for two-year terms. Contested nominations of the DFL and Republican parties for each district were determined by anopen primary election . Minor party andindependent candidates were nominated by petition.Write-in candidates must have filed a request with thesecretary of state 's office for votes for them to have been counted.
