Unofficial results from the 2021 Election show Minnetonka voters have re-elected Mayor Brad Wiersum and City Councilmember Deb Calvert to new 4-year terms. Kimberly Wilburn has received the most votes in the contest to elect a new councilmember for At-Large Seat B.
This is the first year Minnetonka voters used a Ranked Choice Voting system. Under RCV, ballots may be counted in one or more rounds. The first round is tallied using first-preference votes only. If a candidate wins a majority (50% + 1) of the first-preference votes in the first round, that candidate is the winner.
When no candidate wins a majority (50% + 1) of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated and the process moves to a second round. The process is repeated until one candidate has won a majority (50% + 1) or only one candidate remains.
The City of Minnetonka's election team has finished tabulation. Below are the city council unofficial results, Cast Vote Records (CVR), and Abstract of Votes Cast for the Nov. 2, 2021 general election.
