There are three parties to choose from, and voters must declare a party: Democrat, Republican or Legal Marijuana Now. Your ballot will be secret. However, the state’s party chair will be notified of whom you voted for.

For the Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL), the candiadates are:

Joe Biden
Eban Cambridge
Gabriel Cornejo
Frankie Lozada
Armando Perez-Serrato
Jason Palmer

Write-In

Democrats opposed to the ongoing war in Gaza are asking others to vote uncommitted rather than voting for President Biden or any of the other candidates.

Republicans (GOP):

Chris Christie
Ron DeSantis
Nikki Haley
Vivek Ramaswamy
Donald J. Trump
Write-In

All but Haley and former President Trump have dropped out of the race. They are still on the ballot as they suspended their campaigns after the ballots were finalized in January. Trump was allowed to remain on the ballot after the Minnesota Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled his name could be there. Groups challenged his candidacy, saying those who engage in insurrection shouldn’t be allowed to run for president.

Legal Marijuana Now:

Edward Forchion
Krystal Gabel
Rudy Reyes
Vermin Supreme
Dennis Schuller
Write-In

The Legal Marijuana Now party has had major party status in the state since 1998. The DFL has petitioned to revoke that status after they claim it failed to meet the requirements under a new law. Minnesota became the 23rd state to legalize marijuana in 2023, but the party says it will continue to work to abolish the drug’s federal prohibition.
