Introduce yourself Discuss goal – inform you about the City’s new voting method called Ranked Choice Voting There is no such thing as a stupid question, please feel free to interrupt me during the presentation.
This election is a little different than previous Municipal Elections for the City of Minneapolis. For the first time you can rank your choices for Mayor, City Council, Board of Estimate and Taxation, and Park and Recreation Board. The election is November 3 rd , 2009. This year there is no primary. There will be a primary in 2010 for the state races This change only applies to City of Minneapolis municipal elections – Mayor, City Council, Park Board, Board of Estimate and Taxation. [Does not apply to school board, county commissioners, judges, etc.]

[pass out ballot] This is a sample ballot to determine the best park and lake in Minneapolis. I will ask you to fill this out in a few minutes.
The ballot counter will reject a ballot if there are multiple candidates marked in the same column.

Ask attendees to fill out the ballot
For example - 1 seat – 50%, 2 seats – 33%, 3 seats – 25%
The candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated and the next ranked choice for that eliminated candidate is counted. This continues in rounds until a candidate receives at least 50% of the vote plus 1.
Elects board of estimate and taxation and park board at large Mathematical elimination occurs when it would be impossible for a candidate to exceed the next highest candidate. If mathematical elimination is done and all the seats are still not filled, the election judges will turn to the candidate with the largest surplus. All of those ballots are sorted based on the voters next choice.
The elected candidate’s surplus votes are allocated proportionately according to the next ranked candidates on those ballots.
Brownie Lake is mathematically eliminated, which means that it would be impossible for Brownie to get more votes than the next highest candidate. If you add the surplus votes of Lake Nokomis (299) to Brownie’s votes you get 689. Brownie can’t beat the next highest candidates (Calhoun, which has 710).
This means that all of Lake Nokomis’s second choice votes will be worth .23
Hand count is necessary because there is no federally certified voting equipment for Ranked Choice Voting ballots. According to Minnesota State Law, all of our voting equipment must be certified. Experienced judges have been practicing counting since May. Results will be released as they are known. The hand count will be completed for all races by December 22.
