HF 358 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Term limits established for the office of governor.

HF 358 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Minnesota governors to two terms in office. If approved by voters in 2026, the amendment would change the state constitution to state that "a person elected twice to the office of governor is no longer an eligible candidate." The measure requires voter approval at the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to limit a governor to two terms?" This change would apply to all future governor elections, affecting any candidate seeking a third term after the amendment takes effect. The bill does not change current term limits for governors serving before the amendment is approved.
