Minneapolis 35-Candidate Mayoral Race Highlights Ranked-Choice Voting Impact

News summary

The Minneapolis City Council election in 2025 is a significant event that will determine the city's legislative leadership, potentially shifting power between Mayor Jacob Frey's allies and the progressive majority currently in place. Key issues in this election include housing, homelessness, public safety, property taxes, environmental initiatives, minimum wage, bike paths, and child care. Among the notable races is Ward 5, where six candidates vie to replace outgoing progressive Council Member Jeremiah Ellison. This election follows a history of vibrant political contests in Minneapolis, such as the 2013 mayoral race that introduced ranked-choice voting and a diverse candidate field. Meanwhile, the County of St. Paul is preparing for its municipal election on October 20, 2025, featuring multiple candidates for reeve and council across divisions, with advance voting opportunities provided. Additionally, Alberta's Town of St. Paul will hold its general municipal elections, where voters will elect one mayor and six councillors under the Local Authorities Election Act, emphasizing a structured electoral process.
