83 Minnesota school questions on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot, from the Secretary of State’s list

83 questions in 63 Minnesota school districts, from the Secretary of State’s ballot-question list. No amounts or results; not a certified ballot.

The Minnesota Secretary of State’s ballot-question list has 83 questions in 63 school districts on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot. It is the Secretary of State’s list of ballot questions for the November 3, 2026 State General Election, as posted in the state’s election results system before the election. It is not a certified ballot and not a result: a question withdrawn, corrected or added after the list was saved is not reflected here.

Every question the Secretary of State’s list labels a school district question. The list repeats a district’s question under each county the district spans; each question is shown once. A question is joined to its district by the district number in the list’s label, and only where the question’s own text names that district. The list’s one statewide question, a proposed constitutional amendment titled “Increasing funding to school districts”, is not a school district’s question: it is not counted among the questions here and is shown separately on the Minnesota ballot page, with its official title and text.

The questions, by the index’s type

The Secretary of State’s list has no type column. DistrictFacts assigns the labels below from each question’s own title and text, by a fixed rule; they are not the Secretary of State’s types. A combined question stays in its own group and is counted once.

The unclassified question

1 question is unclassified and included in the 83 questions, under the index’s “School district question” label. Herman-Norcross Community School: “Changing Authorized Use of Bond Proceeds”. The article does not fold it into another type.

The terms, in pinned Minnesota law

The passages below are about referendum revenue, a capital project levy and issuing obligations (bonds). They are part of sections of Minnesota Statutes 2025, not the whole sections. No passage is matched to an individual question.

The total referendum revenue for each district equals the district's referendum allowance times the adjusted pupil units for the school year.

Minnesota Statutes 2025, section 126C.17, subdivision 4: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/126C.17#stat.126C.17.4

A district may levy the local tax rate approved by a majority of the electors voting on the question to provide funds for an approved project.

Minnesota Statutes 2025, section 123B.63, subdivision 3, paragraph (a): https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/123B.63#stat.123B.63.3

"Municipality" means a city of any class, county, town, or school district.

Minnesota Statutes 2025, section 475.51, subdivision 2: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/475.51#stat.475.51.2

Obligations authorized by law or charter may be issued by any municipality upon obtaining the approval of a majority of the electors voting on the question of issuing the obligations, but an election shall not be required to authorize obligations issued:

Minnesota Statutes 2025, section 475.58, subdivision 1: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/475.58#stat.475.58.1

The bond passage ends by introducing exceptions: the section goes on to list obligations for which no election is required. That list is not quoted here.

Quoted word for word from Minnesota Statutes 2025, as the Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes published it online (retrieved October 6, 2026). Each quotation is part of a section, not the whole of it; follow the link to read the section. This is not legal advice.

Amounts

The Secretary of State’s list has no amount column. No amount is read from a question’s text, so no question has a headline figure and there is no amount chart. Any dollar amount, rate or number of years remains in the question’s full text on the ballot page. An absent amount is not zero.

Look up your district

The Minnesota ballot page, at districtfacts.com/mn/ballot-2026/, lists 83 questions by district name, with the official title and full question text. Each question also appears on its district’s page.

Before and after the vote

Every question in this article is dated November 3, 2026. The article describes the list as saved before the vote and does not report results. On the ballot page, results are added from the official results the Minnesota Secretary of State publishes, after the official count.

What this does not tell you

The counts describe the list, not an estimate of a tax bill or of what a question would cost a household. The list does not say why a district put a question to voters or whether it is needed. The official title and full question text are a place to start when asking what a question would pay for. DistrictFacts does not recommend how to vote on any question.

This report was generated from public records by the DistrictFacts Data Desk. The counts are read from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s ballot-question list, retrieved October 5, 2026, as published on the DistrictFacts ballot and district pages. None of the figures was typed by hand. The method is described on the DistrictFacts methodology page, and a correction can be requested from this story.
