Syllabus

1. The court has subject matter jurisdiction over this petition under Minn. Stat. § 204B.44 (2022). 2. Because the Legal Marijuana Now Party (LMNP) did not maintain a state central committee subject to the state convention's control, as Minn. Stat. § 202A.12, subd. 2 (2022), requires, and the LMNP's constitutional challenge to Minn. Stat. § 202A.12, subd. 2, fails, the LMNP has not satisfied the requirements to be a major political party under Minn. Stat. § 200.02, subd. 7(a) (Supp. 2023). Petition granted; motion to dismiss denied.
