COLORADO SPRINGS — On June 17, 2025, Colorado Springs voters will decide whether or not the Karman Line should be annexed by the city.

The following language will appear on the ballot:

“Shall the voters approve Ordinance 25-16, annexing that area known as Karman Line Addition No. 6 consisting of 1,876.24 acres located northwest of the Bradley Road and Curtis Road intersection into the City of Colorado Springs?”

Military and Overseas ballots will be mailed out on May 2. Voters in the city will have their ballots mailed out on May 23.

All ballots must be returned to the city by 7:00 p.m. on June 17 for them to be counted.

The decision to hold a special election comes after a citizen-initiated referendum petition reached the required number of signatures for the city council to bring the issue back to the table.

On Tuesday, April 8, the city council chose to have a Special Municipal Election rather than repealing the annexation.
