The 134 members of the House of Representatives will be elected from single-member districts via first-past-the-post voting for two-year terms. Contested nominations of recognized major parties (Democratic-Farmer-Labor, Grassroots-Legalize Cannabis, Legal Marijuana Now, and Republican) for each district will be determined by an open primary election. Minor party and independent candidates will be nominated by petition. Write-in candidates must file a request with the secretary of state's office for votes for them to be counted. The filing period is from May 17, 2022 until May 31, 2022.[1]
