On April 26, 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that Minnesota would hang onto its eight congressional seats by a very slim margin; Minnesota received the last congressional seat allotted in the decennial reapportionment process, which cost New York a seat. Minnesota’s congressional map for the 2020 cycle was adopted by a Special Redistricting Panel appointed by the Minnesota Supreme Court after the Legislature did not enact a plan by the statutory deadline. The panel, created on June 30, 2021, oversaw public hearings in October for both congressional and legislative maps and ultimately applied a “least-change” approach as explained in its final order adopting the congressional map on February 15, 2022, in Wattson v. Simon.

State legislative districts followed the same court-supervised path. In Wattson v. Simon, the Special Redistricting Panel also adopted new Minnesota House and Senate maps on February 15, 2022, replacing the prior decade’s districts for use beginning in 2022. Between May 2022 and May 2023, several technical and proposed boundary changes have been adopted. The can be found on the Legislative Coordinating Commission's website.
