A man walks by a ballot box as its assembled outside of Aspen City Hall on Thursday, Dec. 17, 2020.
Eight people are running for two open Aspen City Council seats and two candidates for the mayor’s seat in an election that will be decided on March 2.
Monday was the deadline for candidates to submit nominating petitions, and City Clerk Nicole Henning said she received a total of 10 petitions as of 5 p.m.
She now has to verify that at least 25 signatures supporting the candidates are by individuals who reside in Aspen city limits. The deadline to verify is next week.
