Election day tomorrow; St. Paul, Minn. moves to ranked choice voting
Tuesday is election day, with municipal and school board elections in many communities across the state (check the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website for information on whether there’s an election in your area).
If you have any questions on where, when or how to vote, the League of Women Voters has information on how to register to vote, where to vote in your local area, what to bring to the polling place and all the relevant laws governing the process at Vote411.org.
In St. Paul, Tuesday’s election signals the city’s first use of ranked choice voting, which allows voters to pick a second choice that will be counted if the voter’s first choice is eliminated (more information on ranked voting is available at the Ramsey County election center).
Wherever you are in the state, if you run into any problems at the polling places tomorrow—long lines, not enough ballots, partisan attempts to intimidate voters—we encourage you to report that news to the world by using the Twitter hashtag #votingproblems and by emailing the Minnesota Independent at [tips@minnesotaindependent.com](mail to: tips@minnesotaindependent.com).
