Constitutional amendment proposal providing for staggered terms for senators

SF 941 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Minnesota's state Senate election cycle. If approved by voters in 2026, it would require that after each redistricting (reapportionment), senators from even-numbered districts serve two-year terms while those from odd-numbered districts serve two-year terms at the next election - creating staggered terms. This would replace the current system where all Senate seats are up for election simultaneously after reapportionment. The amendment directly affects Minnesota state senators and the timing of Senate elections. Voters will decide this change through a "Yes/No" question on the 2026 general election ballot.
