Every April of odd years, the City of Grand Junction holds its municipal election. This is the opportunity for registered voters to choose their Councilmembers and weigh in on important issues on the ballot.
What will voters see on the ballot?
- Three Council seats up for election: District B, District C, and an At-large seat;
- Three sales tax questions: an increase in sales tax for first responders, transportation, and a community center;
- One question regarding the sale of Burkey Park; and
- Two questions concerning amendments to the City’s Charter (regarding franchises and lease terms).
A sample ballot can be found at www.gjcity.org/AprilElection.
