MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Supreme Court says Minneapolis residents can vote on a November ballot question that could replace the police with a department of public safety.
The state’s high court reversed a Hennepin County judge’s ruling Thursday that said the ballot language didn’t make clear enough what changes passage would mean to the city’s charter. The court ruled earlier Thursday that election officials didn’t have to notify voters that the police charter measure would not be counted.
Early absentee voting begins Friday and 350-thousand ballots have been printed.
