Aurora voters reject tax hikes, back Democratic slate

Aurora voters rejected tax hikes and backed a slate of Democratic candidates in the 2026 midterm election.

What happened

The election result included two clear outcomes: voters turned down tax increases and supported Democratic candidates. The result was reported in connection with Aurora’s 2026 midterm election.

What remains to be identified

The specific tax measures, their proposed rates or amounts, and the vote totals are not identified here. The candidates included in the Democratic slate and the offices they sought are also not identified.

Those details matter for understanding how the result will affect Aurora’s budget, public services and elected leadership. Official election records would provide the measure names, candidate results and final vote counts.

What to watch next

Aurora residents can watch for official canvass or certification records and for actions by the city or other affected public bodies after the election. Those records would show the final status of the tax questions and the candidates who were elected.
