The Denver City Council plans to declare a vacancy in the seat representing northwest Denver during a special meeting on March 5.
The seat for Council District 1 is becoming vacant because of the recent appointment of Councilman Rick Garcia as regional director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Potential candidates will have from March 5 until March 10 to collect and submit 100 signatures to the office of the clerk and recorder, Denver Elections Division.
Candidates may not circulate petitions for signatures prior to the official declaration of vacancy by the council. A petition must have at least 100 valid signatures of registered electors who reside within the district.
