With Minneapolis’ record turnout for the August primary, we need to keep that momentum moving forward!
It’s simple: a volunteer will place the sign in your yard in September, and then within a week after the election, a volunteer will retrieve it for re-use in 2020.

P.S. If by chance you still happen to have your sign from 2017 and it still says ‘Nov 7’, please email sarah@kingfield.org so we can get you a ‘6’ decal to change the date!
KFNA has been working hard to Get Out the Vote and the results are in—we were successful!
As compared to the last municipal election in 2013:
Minneapolis, as a whole, increased as well by 9 percentage points.
Thank you everyone for voting—now lets get ready for 2018 and another 12% increase in voters!
Also, another “thank you” to our amazing business community for fueling the Kingfield Polling Party. Hot coffee and tasty treats were donated by Five Watt, Butter Bakery, Royal Grounds, Curran’s, The Lowbrow, Sun Street Breads, Patisserie 46, and Bruegger’s!

Turnout is up to us. Change happens because of us. To the question, “How can I help? Where do I start?” neighbors have answered, “I show up.” Come join, and by the time polls close on November 7th, we can say we spoke to 1,000 neighbors.
We’re rallying from November 4th – 7th, with multiple shifts (and food!) available. We’ll meet at:
Sign up through this link. It’s SUPER important you sign up, and sign up before Thursday 11/2/17 at 5pm, since there’ll be no way to know how many folks we’ve spoken to unless you’ve put down your name. All volunteers, remember to choose “LYNDALE” as the organization you’re coming through.
Yet, even so, in municipal election years (like 2017) our voting population drops to half. Convinced we can do better, KFNA is working on a number of strategies to increase voter turnout in our neighborhood, and our broader community. Interested in door knocking?
