Minnesota (MN) is August 12. Minnesota has an open primary system. Citizens do not currently have online voter registration. One Senator will face reelection this year. Senator Al Franken has a primary opponent, Sandra Henningsgard. http://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota_elections,_2014
There are 8 Congressional districts in Minnesota. Currently, 5 seats are held by Democrats. The 8th district incumbent, Rick Nolan, faces strong competition in the general election, from Republican Stewart Mills, with neither candidate having a primary opponent.
The Democratic Governor, Mark Dayton, does not have an opponent in the primary. There are 7 potential Republican candidates for governor running in the GOP primary. Since MN has an open primary system, any registered voter can vote in any party's primary. This could get interesting.
Democrats currently control the MN State House with 73 of the 134 seats. There are no state wide ballot measures on the primary ballot.
