It’s election day in Aspen and if you haven’t yet turned in a ballot, voting centers will be open from 7am to 7pm.
People can vote at City Hall or the Red Brick Center for the Arts on East Hallam Street. If you still need to register, head to the Pitkin County Clerk’s office then bring your registration certification to either voting center to cast a ballot. Voters who filled out a mail ballot can drop those off at the voting centers. You can register until 7pm.
Aspen voters will elect a mayor, two council members and decide a citizen referendum. If passed, residents would decide through election whether certain development projects should be built. Six development applications have been submitted in advance of that decision; developer Mark Hunt filed plans on Monday that would demolish and rebuild the Bidwell building on Galena Street.
More than 1600 people had voted as of Sunday. Typically spring municipal elections see between 2000 and 2500 people voting.
