BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2022, the City will participate in a Coordinated Election with Adams County and Weld County and three (3) candidates will be listed on the ballot for the open Ward 1 position. If no candidate for Ward 1 receives a majority of the votes cast for such office as required in Article III, Section 3.6 of the City of Brighton Charter, a run-off election is required and will take place on December 13, 2022 between the two (2) candidates who received the highest number of votes for the position. Once the November 8th Coordinated Election is complete, if it is determined that a Special Run-off Election is required, the City Clerk will prepare a Resolution for City Council consideration at its special meeting on November 10th that will set the ballot content (names of the two candidates for the Ward 1 position) and address such other issues associated with the special election such as publishing the notice of election, mailing the ballots, appointing election judges, and designating the location of the election.
