Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis held its first elections using the single transferable vote and instant runoff voting in 2009. Minneapolis describes both such elections as ranked-choice voting. The single transferable vote rules are the weighted inclusive Gregory method, which are similar to the rules used in Scotland.

The offices of mayor, city council members, and park board district commissioners are elected using instant runoff voting, and the offices of board of estimate and taxation at-large (two seats) and park board at-large (three seats) are elected using the single transferable vote.

The City of Minneapolis has a web page for ranked choice voting and the statute is online.
