Kingfield Voting Results!

By

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:

  • Turnout in precinct 8-6 went up from 40% to 51.8%;
  • Turnout in precinct 8-7 went up from 43.6% to 55.4%;
  • Turnout in Kingfield overall went up from 41.9% to 53.8%!

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!

Southside Get Out the Vote 2017

We have spent months and months working towards election day, and it’s ALMOST HERE!! Lots of you helped put together an incredible forum, where we filled an entire auditorium. Folks have stepped forward and doorknocked, phonebanked, and flyered, and nearly every person we’ve been speaking to has said, “I’m voting.”  And yet, there are more people to reach….

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:

CAPI USA
3702 East Lake Street
Minneapolis MN 55406

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.

Kingfield is a neighborhood of Voters!

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.
