On June 24, the city council of St. Paul, Minnesota, voted unanimously to put a ballot question on the November 3, 2009 ballot. The measure will ask voters if they wish to use Instant Runoff Voting. The measure is actually an initiative, and the initiative had been submitted two years ago, but the Council had refused to certify it for the ballot because opponents had said use of IRV might violate the Minnesota Constitution. But because the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that there is no conflict between the State Constitution and IRV, the St. Paul vote will now proceed.
