Minnesota enacted new congressional district boundaries on February 15, 2022, when a special judicial redistricting panel issued an order adopting final maps. In its unanimous club, the console wrote, "To afford counties and municipalities fourth dimension to complete local redistricting, the statutory deadline for completing congressional and legislative redistricting is '25 weeks before the state primary election in the yr ending in ii.' In this decennium, that date is February 15, 2022. That date has arrived, and the legislature has not even so enacted a congressional redistricting programme. To avoid delaying the electoral process, the console must now act."[11]

After the panel issued their order, Dave Orrick of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press wrote, "The impacts of the new maps weren't immediately clear...Since Minnesota averted losing a congressional seat, the state's viii districts for U.South. Firm members don't appear jarringly different from current maps."[12] Briana Bierschbach and Hunter Woodall wrote in the Star Tribune, "Under the new maps, the eighth Congressional district grew larger geographically to arrange population declines in many rural counties."[thirteen]Kyle Brown of Saint Paul television station KSTP wrote, "The state's current balance of iv Republican and four Autonomous representatives in the U.Due south. House could exist thrown for a loop with a radical shift in geography for the 2d Congressional Commune, which by far had the most competitive race in 2020."[14]

How does redistricting in Minnesota work? In Minnesota, congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the Minnesota State Legislature. These lines are field of study to veto by the governor.[15]

The Minnesota Constitution requires "that country Senate districts be contiguous, and that Representative districts exist nested within Senate districts." State statutes utilize contiguity requirements to all congressional and state legislative districts. Furthermore, country statutes stipulate that political subdivisions should not be divided "more necessary."[15]
