Voting ended Tuesday night across Colorado for its 2025 Coordinated Election.
While voters only had to decide on a pair of statewide ballot issues, multiples cities across Southern Colorado had local issues to decide on as well.
Voters in Pueblo were deciding on two separate sales tax measures. One aims to increase the sales tax to help with the general fund. The other would extend an existing sales tax for economic development. Voters are also deciding if they want to keep an elected mayor overseeing the city or to return to a city manager-style of government.

Voters in Manitou Springs were deciding whether or not to increase an existing tax on businesses that charge admissions or sell tickets. It would affect only a handful of businesses and aims to address a loss in revenue after the city lost its regional monopoly on recreational marijuana when Colorado Springs residents voted to legalize it there last year.
Election results will be updated as soon as they are made available by city clerks. Last updated 9:30 p.m. Nov. 4, 2025.
