COLORADO SPRINGS MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The City of Colorado Springs holds elections on the first Tuesday of April in odd-numbered years. The next scheduled municipal election is April 1, 2025.

CANDIDATE AND BALLOT INFORMATION

The Legislative Council Staff's Blue Book provides information on the 14 statewide measures that will appear on your ballot, as well as on judges who will be considered for retention in your area. You will receive information about local government ballot measures separately. It is available in both English and Spanish. 

Candidates are about more than slogans, name recognition and personality. Be informed to help you make decisions about who you want to represent you. You can look at  candidates' websites, attend candidate forums, and talk to others about the candidate. League's publication, "How to Judge a Candidate" gives additional ideas on how to decide which candidate best represents your values.
