Find your exact ballot
This page covers local races for the five-city trial area. Only the official Minnesota Secretary of State lookup can show your exact ballot, since it depends on your address and ward.
Meet Your Reps does not collect addresses. The official lookup opens outside this site, at the Minnesota Secretary of State.
Status labels
Every status on this page is carried by plain words, not by color alone. Candidate filing status is kept separate from sample ballot status, so a posted filing list never reads as a final ballot.

Sample ballot pendingCandidate filing information exists, but an official sample ballot has not been posted or linked here yet.

Who votes
All city voters vote for this seat.
Why there is a primary
5 candidates for 2 seats exceeds the 4-candidate threshold that triggers a primary.
Sample ballot
An official sample ballot has not been posted or linked here yet.
Five candidates confirmed via the Minnesota Secretary of State filing page (June 23, 2026). Verify final ballot wording when city or county ballot details are posted.
Seven candidates confirmed via the Inver Grove Heights city candidates page (ighmn.gov/697/Candidates, June 23, 2026) and the Minnesota Secretary of State filing page (June 6, 2026). The city page states a primary election is required. Verify final ballot wording with the city, county, or sample ballot source.
Seven candidates confirmed via the South St. Paul elections page (June 23, 2026). The SOS filing page states withdrawn candidates are removed from the site. The city elections page (June 23, 2026) confirms a primary is required to narrow the field. Verify final ballot wording when sample ballots are posted. One filed South St. Paul candidate name appears similar to a current council member name, but the filing name and current roster name do not match exactly. Meet Your Reps has not marked this as a current-officeholder match unless an official source confirms the match.
The city elections page links to the SOS filing source but does not list candidates directly. Only the incumbent is shown on the SOS page as of June 6, 2026. Verify final candidate list when sample ballots are posted.

State sources cover the full trial area. Candidate filing lists are official records but are not the same as final sample ballots.
City pages confirm offices on the ballot and link to official filing sources. Some cities list candidate names directly, others link to the state filing source.
Candidate filing lists can change as candidates file or withdraw.
Sample ballots may post closer to Election Day, after candidate filings.
Election information changes as filing periods, primaries, and sample ballots are updated. Meet Your Reps shows source status and last-checked dates so residents can verify the information directly.
Always confirm with official sources before relying on this summary.
