Did you see the breaking news out of Minnetonka? An anti-Ranked Choice Voting group is seeking to repeal RCV here. As life-long residents of Minnetonka, we know that RCV is crucial for our city and encourages more candidates to run and empowers voters with more choice.
We’ve already had a successful municipal election in Minnetonka using RCV with 12 candidates running for three offices, the most ever for a Minnetonka Council election. And with all of these choices, no one had to worry about vote splitting. Voter turnout increased dramatically: over 50% higher than the average for city council elections, and the highest in the past 10 city council elections.
