City, county served by elected officials

Red Wing City Council consists of seven members representing four wards. Each citizen has the opportunity to elect three of those council members - the council member for a specific ward (Ward 1, 2, 3 or 4); a council member for the seat that represents two wards (Wards 1-2 or 3-4); and the at-large seat, which represents all citizens. All voters also cast ballots for mayor.

Red Wing is the county seat for Goodhue County. There are five districts in the county, with one commissioner representing each district. The city of Red Wing is split between Districts 1 and 5.

Elections are held in the fall. Both the city and the county use the same 12 polling places, which are designated according to ward and precinct; state and national elections also use these sites:
