The ballot order for the candidates will be determined following a drawing by the Town Clerk’s Office at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28 in the Vail Municipal Building.

The mayor and mayor pro-tem are elected from among the council members and each serves a two-year term.

Eligibility requirements include being a U.S. citizen, a registered Vail voter and a resident of Vail for two years immediately preceding the election. Candidates must have also collected a minimum of 10 valid signatures from registered Vail voters on a nomination petition.
