Minnesota 2020 Presidential Primary: Ballot, Date, How To Vote

MINNESOTA — Minnesota's presidential primary will be held on Tuesday, March 3, otherwise known as "Super Tuesday." Only two of the four "major" parties in the state, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and the Republican Party, have submitted candidates to be on Minnesota's ballot. Each party will have a separate ballot, and voters can only vote on one of them.

Voters are not allow to vote in both the Republican and Democratic primary.

The Grassroots-Legalize Cannabis Party and the Legal Marijuana Now Party will not be participating in Minnesota's primary.

The Minnesota caucus is history

In 2016, Minnesota lawmakers voted to end the state's Iowa-like caucus system. They replaced it with a traditional presidential primary election. In other words, on March 3, voters will head to the polls like they do in any other election.
