Minneapolis City Code (section 167.130) requires a post-election review to verify the accuracy of the ballot data used for ranked-choice voting tabulation. The ballot data used in tabulation comes from ballot scanners. During the review, election officials manually inspect ballots to confirm that the first, second, and third choice ranking on each ballot matches the data from the ballot scanners.  

Following the review’s completion, results will be available at vote.minneapolismn.gov.
