Minnesotans will also vote on a ballot measure to amend Amendment I of the state constitution. If approved, the amendment would reauthorize the dedication of revenue from the state-operated lottery to the Environment and Natural Resources Fund through December 31, 2050.
A “yes” vote support the amendment to:
extend the dedication of revenue from the state-operated lottery to the Environment and Natural Resources Fund through December 31, 2050;
increase the amount of money that can be spent from the fund each year from 5.5% to 7.0% of the fund's market value; and
create a grant program to provide funding for projects related to addressing environmental issues in affected communities, environmental education, and natural resource conservation.
A '“no” vote opposed this ballot measure, thus ending the dedication of revenue from the state-operated lottery on December 31, 2024.
You can read more about the constitutional amendment initiative here on the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
Bloomington voters will also vote on amending the Bloomington City Charter to repeal ranked choice voting, which was approved by the voters on the 2020 ballot.
A ‘yes’ vote means you want to stop using ranked-choice voting to elect the mayor and City Council.
A ‘no’ vote means you want to continue to use ranked-choice voting to elect the mayor and City Council.
You can read additional information about the proposed city charter amendment on the City website.
