No final named statewide write-in list yet

Minnesota counts write-in votes separately for a federal, state, or judicial candidate only when the candidate files the required written request. The filing period remains open through October 15, 2026, at 5 p.m. No final official named statewide list was available on October 1. The zero count here is a checked-to-date count, not a claim that no one can still file.
