Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot

Election blues got you down?

Don't know any of the candidates for Library Board?

Don't know what the Board of Estimate and Taxation even is?

Wonder where you're supposed to vote?

You're not alone, and GetBoB is here to help...

We hosted two Candidate Fairs to help you actually meet candidates one-on-one, but time is getting short. You can peruse the guides listed below, or take a look at the results of a candidate questionnaire regarding the structure of Minneapolis government, produced in collaboration with FairVoteMN, The League of Women Voters--Minneapolis, and MPIRG. You'll find responses from most of the mayoral and city council candidates regarding the future of the independent boards, the municipal primary, and the make-up of the various elected bodies that run Minneapolis. You should also check out another great event--we didn't sponsor this one, but it's our kind of gig:

Thursday, November 3rd

Browse through the 2005 Voter Guide produced in collaboration with our civic engagement team. You can also look back at our 2004 Election Guide, which includes information about judgeships, school board, and conservation district.
