(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The City Clerk said Monday, March 24 will be the last day to mail-in ballots for the April 1 Municipal Election.

For the 2025 election, there are four City Council seats available of the six seats, and only two incumbents are running in the election–Dave Donelson from District 1 and Nancy Henjum from District 5–all other district members are either term-limited or decided not to run.

Sarah Johnson, the City Clerk for Colorado Springs, said voter turnout so far has been equal to previous years. However, she emphasized that it is important to vote as city elections will have a greater impact on your day-to-day life.

“These are your local elected officials, these are your city council district members… They’re the person that you’re going to see at the grocery store, you’re going to see them in the park, you’re going to see them at church, various other places. They’re the elected officials that are the closest to you,” said Johnson. “You have a voice, I think it’s really important, we all have opinions on everything. These are the local officials that can help you, and vote for you and on your behalf on council.”

There are 28 drop-off locations across Colorado Springs and ballots can be dropped off until 7 p.m. on election night, Tuesday, April 1.

“Every year we get fewer and fewer that are returned by mail, and its fine to do that, but at this point, put it in a box, there are 28 across the city so there’s got to be one close to you,” said Johnson.
