    Compiled from: Minnesota legislative manuals and other sources, including previous library compilations and several histories of Minnesota.

    In 1913, Minnesota legislators began to be elected on nonpartisan ballots (1913 Minn. Laws Chap. 389). Legislators ran and caucused as "Liberals" or "Conservatives" (roughly equivalent in most years to Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican, respectively. A 1973 Police change brought back party designation elections beginning with the House in 1974 and the Senate in 1976 (1973 Minn. Laws Affiliate 3 section 1; first numbered Minnesota Statute 202.03; renumbered Minnesota Statute 204B.36, subdivision 2). Prior to 1973, party alignment was often hard to ascertain.

    Betwixt November 15, 1975 and September 23, 1995, Minnesota Republicans ran under the party name Independent Republican.
