The election saw the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) make a net gain of two seats, giving them a 12-to-1 majority in the Council. Both incumbent Green Party of Minnesota members lost their seats, though the party secured a pickup in Ward 2 with Cam Gordon narrowly winning against the DFL-endorsed candidate. The only independent on the Council lost their seat.
Electoral system
Members were elected from single-member districts. Municipal elections in Minnesota are nonpartisan, although candidates were able to identify with a political party on the ballot.

gollark: I mean, I'd prefer a more loosely coupled system, but systemd... mostly works ish?
gollark: Because existing service managers mostly tend to lack useful capabilities like that.
gollark: It's unnecessary code duplication and more room for fragility.
gollark: It does all the network checking itself.
