With ranked choice voting, St. Paul mayor's race could take four days to count

It may take four days from the Nov. 7 election to find out who will be the next St. Paul mayor.

While voters will learn which of the 10 candidates is in the lead on election night, officials with Ramsey County Elections will need to sort through the ballot redistribution process due to the ranked choice system. Nearly half of all voters ranked multiple candidates in order of preference during city council elections in 2011.
