2013 Minneapolis municipal election will use Ranked Choice Voting
The 2013 Minneapolis municipal elections will be conducted using the voting
system called Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). This change is the result of a
referendum that voters passed in 2006, and was first implemented in 2009.
Ranked Choice Voting combines the municipal Primary and the General
Election into one event, so there is no Primary in 2013. In Ranked Choice
Voting, voters may also rank a different 2nd and 3rd choice candidate on the
on the same ballot, in the columns just to the right of a voter's first choice. 2013 Offices on the Ballot 2013 is a municipal election. City of Minneapolis municipal offices
offices on the ballot are: - Mayor
- Council Members - Wards 1 through 13
- Board of Estimate & Taxation - elect 2
- Park & Recreation Board At-Large - elect 3
- Park & Recreation Board - Districts 1 through 6
2013 Election Calendar - there is no Primary July 30 - August 13, 2013 | Candidate Filing | September 3, 2013 | 1st Campaign Finance filing | October 29, 2013 | 2nd Campaign Finance filing | November 5, 2013 | General Election |
Additional details on the 2013 Election Calendar, how to file for office, and
on the Minneapolis Ranked Choice Voting method will be published as they
come available.
Who represents me? Current city elected officials continue to represent the Ward or District
from which they were elected through 2013. Here's what voters
need to know: City Council Members elected in 2009 continue to represent the
Wards from which they were elected through 2013. Park District Commissioners elected in 2009 continue to represent
the Districts from which they were elected through 2013. City-wide officials elected to city-wide office continue to serve the
entire city. |
