From time to time, the city receives questions about term limits for the mayor and city council. In 1995, Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment imposing a two-term limit for local government officials. Under the amendment, however, local voters were given the ability to change the number of terms served in their cities and towns. In 2005, Aurora voters made a change to allow its future elected officials to serve three consecutive terms, starting with those who were first elected at the 2005 election. Aurora voters made additional changes at the 2009 election to allow all of its elected officials to serve three consecutive terms, no matter when they were first elected to office. Each term of office is four years, beginning at the first regular council meeting in December following the election. Aurora’s regular municipal election is held every two years on the first Tuesday in November in odd-numbered years for the purpose of voting on the city’s elected officials. All Aurora municipal elections are non-partisan, that is, persons are elected to office without consideration of political party affiliation. In 2015, the following municipal offices will be on the ballot: Mayor, Wards IV, V, and VI and two council members at-large. For information on elections, visit auroragov.org
