(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Unofficial results from the June 17 Special Election will begin dropping at 7 p.m., and FOX21 News is your election headquarters.

The single question on the ballot is asking voters whether to approve or reject an ordinance annexing 1,876.24 acres west of Schriever Space Force Base, known as the Karman Line.

The annexation vote has caused pushback from various community members, with a petition even being submitted for the annexation to be reconsidered after it was initially approved by the City Council in December. Locals have previously expressed concerns about water, emergency services, and uncontrolled growth, among others.

Supporters of the ordinance, including some current and former City Council members, say the approval of the annexation would mean more housing availability near Schriever SFB, and with it, the alleviation of housing shortages.

The land is currently vacant and agricultural. If approved, developers hope to build 6,500 homes, and the project would take around 20 years to complete.
