This is the Market’s way of helping educate Minneapolis voters about Ranked Choice Voting before the November 3rd election.   Implementation is now on the fast track and the most important piece of this is educating voters about the new and improved voting system. Get more information on Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting) which will be used in Minneapolis elections this fall at FairVote.
