Election Tuesday: A check-in from the Minneapolis polls
Off-year, local elections tend to see much lower turnout than presidential and statewide races. But their results still have a big impact on Minnesotans’ lives. Listen for an update from the Minneapolis polls here.
Duluth Mayor, City Council election results
On the ballot on Election Day in Duluth is the mayoral race, six city council seats and three school board seats.
St. Paul City Council election results
Four out of seven seats on the St. Paul council will be on the ballot on Election Day. Of the seven wards, only three have incumbent members running for re-election — this means the city of St. Paul is looking at some potentially major shifts in political dynamics on the council. 
Minneapolis City Council election results
Every seat on the Minneapolis City Council is up for grabs this Election Day. Of the 13 wards, 11 have incumbent members running for re-election.
Minnesota municipal election results
Local races for city councils across the state — including in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth —are underway. On Election Day, voters will decide who will represent their ward on their city council.
