Both the Democratic and Republican parties have major-party status in Minnesota, but its state-level "Democratic" party is actually a separate party, officially known as the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL).
Nii Demokraatlik Partei kui ka Vabariiklik Partei on tunnustatud Minnesota osariigis suurparteidena, kuid Minnesota kohalik demokraatide erakond on tegelikult eraldiseisev partei, mille ametlik nimi on Minnesota Demokraatlik Talunike ja Tööliste Partei (Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, DFL).
