Voting is underway across Minnesota in various local races for mayor, city council, school board and other positions. Off-year, local elections tend to see much lower turnout than presidential and statewide races. But their results still have a big impact on Minnesotan’s lives. Polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday night and MPR News will have coverage of the results of a few key races. In the meantime, reporter Kyra Miles was at the polls in Ward 12 in Minneapolis and joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer over the phone to talk about what’s happening.
