the 2012 vote

Every member of the Minnesota State Senate and the Minnesota State House are up for election this year.

The federal races in Minnesota feature a U.S. Senate race between Amy Klobuchar and Kurt Bill. Each of Minnesota's eight Congressional Districts will also be up for grabs.

There are two Constitutional Amendment questions on the ballot this year: One is on the issue of requiring a photo ID to vote in Minnesota, the other is on the issue of defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
