Question three on the Minneapolis ballot has been passed by voters. The charter change will allow the city council to control rent for private residential areas in the city.
Throughout the pandemic, many have struggled with rent and paying for their housing. Still, now the charter change will give the city council control over residential properties in the city's ordinance.
Both questions passed by slim margins and were called after question two was struck down by voters denying the option to remove the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a department of public safety.
