Charter amendment realigning city council election cycles
Longmont · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the City of Longmont Home Rule Charter be amended by amending section 3.6 of the Charter to realign the cycle on which members of the Longmont city council are elected so that the three councilmembers elected at-large are elected in one electoral cycle and the three councilmembers elected from wards are elected in another electoral cycle, with such electoral cycles alternating from then on, with such realignment contingent upon voter approval of the measure on the November 3, 2026 City of Longmont ballot requiring the use of ranked choice voting to elect city council members when possible?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Longmont Question 3D would change when city council members are elected. The three at-large councilmembers would be elected in one election cycle. The three ward councilmembers would be elected in a different cycle, and the two cycles would alternate after that. The change would only happen if voters also approve Question 3C on ranked choice voting. A YES vote realigns the council election cycles. A NO vote keeps the current election schedule.
