2025-057 Resolution for Counting Write In Votes for Local Elective OfficeCITY OF HOPKINS
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 2025-057
RESOLUTION FOR COUNTING WRITE-IN VOTES FOR LOCAL ELECTIVE OFFICE
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statute 20413.09, subdivision 3 allows for the governing
body of a statutory or home rule charter city to adopt a resolution governing the
counting of write-in votes for local elective office.
WHEREAS, the current write-in vote counting process is overly time consuming
and unnecessary. Counting only registered write-in candidates aligns the write-in
recording process with Federal, State and County offices.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Hopkins hereby requires candidates for city office to file a written request with the chief
election official no later than the seventh day before the city election if the candidate
wants to have the candidate's write-in votes individually recorded.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Hopkins this 7th day of October 2025.
