It's primary election day across the state. Polls are open until 8 p.m. for voters to determine which candidates they want on the ballot in November's general election. There are partisan contests for the U.S. Senate and House races, as well as several primary battles in the Minnesota Legislature. There are also dozens of nonpartisan races for local positions including city council members, county commissioners and mayors.

The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority has announced it has met its goal of installing fire suppression systems in every public housing complex. The city installed the fire sprinklers after a deadly 2019 fire in a high-rise in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
