Who's running for Minneapolis mayor and City Council in 2025 elections?
The keys to City Hall are up for grabs on Nov. 4, when all 13 City Council seats and the mayor’s office are up for election.
Minneapolis has used ranked-choice voting since 2009. No primary election is held, so if there are more than two candidates in a race, people “rank” candidates with a first, second and third preference. That way, votes can count toward another candidate if your top candidate loses.
Key dates: The official candidate filing period is from July 29 through Aug. 12. Early voting is from Sept. 19 through Nov. 3. Early voter registration is due Oct. 14. The deadline to apply for a mailed ballot is Oct. 28.
