Frey's 61,027 first-choice votes are more than twice as many as Sheila Nezhad, the candidate currently in second place, but his share of the first-choice total remains at 42.82%. Rounding out the top three is Kate Knuth, with 18.45% of the first-choice total.
The future of the Minneapolis Police Department has perhaps gotten the most attention leading up to Election Day 2021, but the city's mayoral race features more than a dozen candidates.
Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is opposed to Question 2. His top opponents have been Sheila Nezhad and Kate Knuth, who both support the move to a Department of Public Safety.
The three are also split on Question 1, which asks residents about changing the structure of city government to a "strong mayor" setup, where the mayor would be in an executive role and the City Council would propose and pass policy. The "strong mayor" system is how St. Paul operates, with proponents saying it's too difficult for departments to report to 14 bosses with the City Council and mayor both in charge — with the exception of the police department, which already reports directly to the mayor.
Frey is in favor of the "strong mayor" system, while Nezhad and Knuth oppose it.
Using ranked-choice voting, the city may not know its next mayor until Wednesday.
