Today's Poll

Informal Reader Poll: Who Will You Vote For in Longmont’s At-Large City Council Race?

Results > Archives >

This informal reader poll is for engagement purposes only and is not affiliated with any candidate or campaign. Candidates are listed alphabetically to ensure neutrality. Candidates included are those who have officially filed candidate affidavits as of July 25.

This poll is not a scientific survey and should not be interpreted as a prediction of the election outcome. It is hosted by the Longmont Leader as a neutral, informational engagement tool. The cost of this poll does not exceed Colorado’s campaign finance thresholds and no candidate or campaign paid for its placement. Responses are limited to one per person, but online polls can be manipulated and may not reflect the community as a whole.

*Note: Former candidate Patrick Dillon announced on July 26 that he will be suspending his campaign for Longmont City Council.

Two at-large seats will be up for election in November.
