Starting
Oct. 23 through Nov. 6, early voting is available every day. Any Minneapolis
voter can vote early in person or by mail. In-person voting is at the Early
Vote Center, 217 S. Third St., at the corner of Third Avenue South and
Third Street South, one block from City Hall.
In the mayor’s race, 16 candidates will appear on the ballot. All City Council
offices will be on the ballot. Each ballot across the city will also feature
two other citywide contests: one for two at-large seats on the Board of
Estimate and Taxation, and one for three at-large seats on the Park and
Recreation Board. Every voter will also have a chance to select a
representative for one of the six Park and Recreation Board districts.
Ranked-choice voting
Minneapolis voters will use ranked-choice voting this fall to elect a mayor
and members of the City Council, Board of Estimate and Taxation, and Park and
Recreation Board. More information on ranked-choice voting is available
at vote.minneapolismn.gov/rcv.
Today during the City Council meeting, I introduced amendments to the Police Conduct Oversight Ordinance, which will help to clarify and codify the working relationship between civilian oversight commission, the Police Department, and city government. I have proposed changes that will give the City of Minneapolis' Office of Police Conduct Review unrestricted access to Minneapolis Police records, will allow for more members to be appointed to the Police Conduct Oversight Commission, and will make the working relationship more transparent and flexible. I believe these changes will strengthen the civilian oversight function in our city and will help to advance the work of building trust between police and residents in our community.
There will be a public hearing on the proposed changes at the November 28th Public Safety Committee meeting (1:30pm in City Hall , Room 317) and City Council will vote on these ordinance changes on December 8th.
