Rank Your Favorite MN State Flag Designs In Unofficial Poll

ST. PAUL, MN — The political group FairVote Minnesota on Thursday launched a state flag poll using ranked-choice voting.

"While the [State Emblems Redesign Commission] is responsible for selecting the final design, it is required to solicit public feedback to inform its work," Fairvote Minnesota said. "To allow more Minnesotans the opportunity to (unofficially) weigh in on our new state flag, FairVote Minnesota launched a state flag ranked vote."

More than 900 people have already submitted their rankings. The preliminary results can be seen here.

Comments solicited

Before it selects a finalist, the State Emblems Redesign Commission is now soliciting comments from the public on the six finalists for the new Minnesota state flag and five finalists for the next state seal.

The designs may be modified, including changes to shapes and colors, officials noted.

Submit your comments here.

More than 2,600 designs were origially submitted for the new Minnesota state flag and seal. The commission has until Jan. 1, 2024, to choose and formally adopt a new flag and seal.

Last spring, the Democratically-controlled legislature passed a bill to create a commission tasked with choosing a new design for the official state flag and seal.

The Minnesota Historical Society is providing administrative support to the commission.
