2024 Erie, CO Municipal Update:

As part of the transition plan to adopt the new Town Charter, all current members of the Council will need to run for re-election in November 2024 to begin new terms on the Town Council. After November 2024, the Mayor will now have four-year terms (maximum two terms) as will all other Councilors. The three lowest vote-getters after the November 2023 election will only serve for two years to ensure staggering the turnover on the Council.

This means 6 Trustees and Mayor are up for reelection.
