The 2025 local elections are underway. The mayor candidates include Katy Frisch and Rachel Richards, who compete for a free seat of Mayor Torre of Mayor of the Mayor.

In the meantime there are six candidates who run two regular seats in the Aspen city council. Ward Hauenstein is called while the reigning John Doyle can keep his seat. Although Torres may be called the mayor, he is currently running for a council seat.

In addition to Doyle and Torre, the candidates of councilors Christine Benedetti, Emily Kolbe, Scot Woolley and Tyler Wilkinson-Ray count.



In the meantime, voters are asked whether they support referendum 1 or referendum 2.

Referendum 1 tries to increase the voter threshold for changes to parks in the city and open rooms from a simple majority of 50% plus one to 60%.



Referendum 2 tries to give the Colorado Ministry of Transport a permanent relief over the entire Marolt Open Space and to effectively remove the preferred alternative for the entrance to Aspen conditions.

Current election results are here:
