Ranked Choice Voting Results in the City of Minneapolis
The City of Minneapolis uses ranked choice voting to elect all city offices, including 20 single-seat and 2 multi-seat offices.After all precincts have reported results on election night, the number of ballots cast is used to determine the number of first-choice votes needed to win each office, and the city announces any election night winners. If no candidate for an office gets enough first-choice votes to win on election night, round-by-round tabulation is conducted until there is a winner.
