Regular municipal elections for the City of Fort Collins are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in April of odd-numbered years. At each regular election, voters will choose a Mayor (who serves a two-year term) and three Councilmembers (who serve four-year terms). Voters in Districts 2, 4 and 6 will elect representatives at the next regular election held on April 2, 2019 (voters in this election will also choose an elected representative to fill out the remainder of the District 1 term since Bob Overbeck was elected to Larimer County Assessor.)
