Minnesota State Treasurer

The Minnesota State Treasurer was an elected officer under the Minnesota Constitution until 2003. Before statehood, the Minnesota Territory had the same office.

In 1886, elections were moved from odd years to even years. Beginning with the 1962 election, the term of the office increased from two to four years.

A 1998 constitutional amendment abolished the position of State Treasurer, effective January 6, 2003. Most functions of the office were transferred to the Commissioner of Finance, who is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Other duties were transferred to the elected Minnesota State Auditor

This is a list of Minnesota Territorial and State Treasurers.
