Know Before You Vote
City Council Candidates are supposed to be Nonpartisan, so we can’t tell you who to vote for. However, with each day closer to November 7th, we learn more about the candidates running for office. Below you will find some information that may help you decide who to rank, or not rank, when voting.
Remember, you don’t have to rank all the candidates on the ballot when you are voting. Learn more about rank choice voting by going to this Ramsey County website. https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/elections-voting/voters/prepare-vote/ranked-voting
We tried to bring multiple sources of information together in one place on this page. Study the candidates by visiting their websites or other social media sites. See what information other organizations have about the City Council Candidates for Saint Paul.
Do your best to vote for the candidate that best represents your Republican or Conservative values and who you feel is best for our city. Again, you don’t have to rank every candidate.
