How the Map Gets Drawn
Congressional boundaries are redrawn every ten years after the national Census to reflect population shifts.5United States Census Bureau. About Congressional Apportionment The Minnesota Constitution puts that job in the state legislature’s hands: Article IV, Section 3 says that after each federal enumeration, “the legislature shall have the power to prescribe the bounds of congressional and legislative districts.” A redistricting plan moves like any other bill, passing both chambers and going to the governor.6Minnesota Legislature. Overview of Reapportionment and Redistricting in Minnesota
In practice, the political branches rarely agree. Courts have drawn Minnesota’s congressional districts in every redistricting cycle since 1980. When the legislature and governor deadlock, the Minnesota Supreme Court appoints a special panel to produce the map, which is how the current boundaries were set after the 2020 Census.7Minnesota Judicial Branch.

Why Minnesota Has Eight Seats
The number of seats each state receives is recalculated after every Census. The Constitution guarantees every state at least one seat, and the remaining 385 of the House’s 435 seats are divided by population.5United States Census Bureau. About Congressional Apportionment Minnesota kept its eighth seat by a narrow margin in the last count. If growth continues to lag other states, the 2030 Census could reduce the delegation to seven, which would trigger a fresh round of map-drawing on tighter territory.
