WASHINGTON (AP) — Jacob Frey won reelection as mayor of Minneapolis on Wednesday, earning his third term.

Minneapolis uses ranked choice voting to select its mayor, but Frey received more than 50% of first-choice votes so he won the office without the contest going to ranked choice tabulations.

The election was officially nonpartisan, though Frey chose to include the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party label on his ballot line. He defeated a large field that included state Sen. Omar Fateh, a democratic socialist. The Associated Press declared Frey the winner at 12:38 p.m. EST.
