2021 City of Aspen Municipal Election Live Results begins tonight, 3.2.21, at 7pm.
Running for city council are local residents Kimbo Brown-Schirato, John Doyle, Casey Endsley, Ward Hauenstein, Mark Reece, Sam Rose, Erin Smiddy and Jimbo Stockton. The Mayoral race is between Torre and Lee Mulcahy.
There are currently just over 6,100 registered voters in Aspen. City Clerk Nicole Henning said Friday afternoon that her office has received over 1,000 ballots thus far. There are eight candidates vying for two seats open on council, which are each four-year terms. Incumbent Ward Hauenstein is attempting to retain his seat. Aspen Mayor Torre is defending his seat against challenger Lee Mulcahy. The second seat open on council is currently occupied by Councilwoman Ann Mullins, who is serving her second and final term, due to term limits.
City Council candidates must earn 45%, plus one, of the vote to win a seat, per the city’s home rule charter. For the mayor, it is 50%, plus one. It’s likely that one council candidate will meet that threshold, but a second one getting that many votes given the crowded field is unlikely, according to city officials. If that’s the case, there will be a runoff election between the top two vote-getters. That election would occur April 6.
