1. When are elections held?

The Town holds elections the first Tuesday in April of even numbered years.

Terms are staggered:
Districts 3, 5 and 7 are elected to four year terms beginning in 2014
Districts 1, 2, 4, and 6 are elected to four year terms beginning in 2016

From time to time, the Town also may participate in coordinated elections held by Douglas County in November of any given year. Town Council also may call special elections.

2. What is my election district?

There are seven election districts in Town, and each is represented by one Town Councilmember. Download a map of the current election districts.

Election districts are established by the Election Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Town Charter. The charter requires that the number of registered electors in the district with the lowest number of registered electors shall not be less than 85 percent of the number of registered voters in the district with the highest number of registered electors. Districts are reviewed every third year, prior to the April election.

3. Where do I register to vote?

The Douglas County Clerk and Recorder is the designated election official for the Town. The most efficient method to register is to go directly to the County Elections Office, 175 Stephanie Place. Registration forms may be downloaded from the County’s Web site.

Residents may also register at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St. Those who register through the Department of Motor Vehicles are strongly encouraged to verify their registration has been received by calling the County Election Division, 303-660-7444, or by visiting their Web site.
