The Town of Pagosa Springs will hold its municipal election on April 5, 2022 via mail ballot — and four seats on the seven-member Town Council are up for election: Mayor and three at-large seats.
The voters eliminated Council districts several years ago, so all seats on the Council are now open to anyone living within the municipal boundaries.
The ballots will be mailed to eligible electors of the Town on or after March 14, 2022.

If you are not registered to vote, please contact Archuleta County election clerk, Tomi Bliss, at 970-264-8331 or register online at www.govotecolorado.com
