Ranked Choice Voting:  On November 3, voters in Minneapolis were able to rank their choices for Mayor, City Council, Board of Estimate and Taxation, and Park and Recreation Board. This new voting method called Ranked Choice Voting allows voters to rank multiple up to three candidates for each office in order of the voter’s preference. See voteminneapolis.org, the official outreach and education Web site of the City of Minneapolis for more information on Ranked Choice Voting.
