A full calendar of dates to remember throughout the election season is listed on the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs’ website.

Correction: November 2, 2020 – 2:15 MT. This report initially stated 10 communities were having elections this year, according to original information from the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. In fact, nine communities are having elections, Fort Liard is not one of them.
