A special election was held in the U.S. state of Minnesota on November 5, 2024, concurrently with the state general election, to elect a new member for District 45 in the Minnesota Senate. This was caused by the resignation of Democratic–Farmer–Labor (DFL) member Kelly Morrison, who sought election to the United States House of Representatives.

Background

On June 6, 2024, District 45 incumbent Kelly Morrison resigned her seat, citing her full-time campaign for Minnesota's 3rd congressional district and her desire for the special election to her seat to be held during a general election.[1]

District 45 is located in southwestern Hennepin County, containing the municipalities around Lake Minnetonka.[2] In the last election in 2022, Morrison won with 56 percent of the vote.[3]

The special candidate filing period is from June 10 to June 11, 2024.[4]
