📚 Contextual Background
- In 2009, the city of Minneapolis implemented ranked-choice voting that allows voters to rank up to three candidates; if no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest-performing candidates are sequentially eliminated and their votes are reallocated to voters' next-highest choices until a candidate achieves 50%.
- The 2021 Minneapolis municipal election had a turnout of 54% of registered voters, the highest turnout in the city since at least 1979.
