A total of 124,393 ballots were cast, a turnout of 39.65% of registered voters, according to the City Clerk.

The post-election period runs through May 26, allowing for military and overseas ballots to arrive by 5 p.m. May 24. This time also allows voters who did not sign their ballot or voters with signature discrepancies to cure those ballots. Election workers plan to process those ballots after the May 24 deadline. Updated results will be posted on the city’s website after the ballot processing. Certification of election results is scheduled May 26.

Mayor-elect Mobolade will take the oath of office at a ceremony at 10 a.m. June 6 on the south side of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.

Mayor John Suthers, who is term limited and leaving office after eight years, offered his congratulations to Mobolade in the city news release.
