Here is a roundup of election results from across Minnesota, including the Minneapolis and St. Paul mayoral races, special elections in the Minnesota Senate, and local school board races.
The DFL will retain control of the Minnesota Senate on Election Day after splitting two special elections races.
Vote counts, which can be found on the Minnesota Star Tribune results page, will show who’s leading in the Minneapolis and St. Paul mayoral races, in municipal and school board elections around the state, and in two special state Senate races, in Woodbury and Wright County.
Minnesota has had a record-tying 6 legislative special elections in 2025. Any additional special election held before the end of the year would break the state’s record for most in a single calendar year.
Other than mayor, the only race still to be decided is in Ward 5, Ellison's current seat, where Frey-endorsed Pearll Warren has 37.7% of the first-choice vote and progressive candidate Ehtrophic Burnett has 28.29%.
