2023 Minneapolis Local Election Education – Check It Out!
The League of Women Voters Minneapolis is once again providing a series of six articles for voters, this year on the 2023 Minneapolis Election. In 2023 all 13 Wards will elect a City Council Representative, so our focus will be to educate the community on the importance of this local election and encourage community members to VOTE LOCAL. Each article will be distributed the first Monday of the month, beginning in April, for publication in the subsequent month’s online and print edition. The articles will cover topics such as the Role of the City Council, Rank Choice Voting, What is on Your Ballot? and more… Articles will also be available on the League website by going to the For Voters Page!
