The City of Aurora Electoral Board met on November 9, 2026, to consider objections to nomination papers for candidates in the February 23, 2027 consolidated primary election. The board adopted procedural rules, admitted preliminary exhibits, and set schedules for legal briefs and voter-records examinations. In case 26B-04, the board declined to refer the objection for a records examination because the challenged signatures were not identified with the required specificity; the remaining dispute concerns whether punched holes in the nomination-paper sheets invalidate them. The candidate filed a motion to strike and dismiss, with the parties directed to submit briefs before the continued hearing on November 18.

The board also addressed objections in several other cases, setting briefing schedules for matters presenting legal issues and referring signature challenges for examination by the relevant county clerks. It scheduled initial briefs for November 12 and responses for November 16 in applicable cases. At least one objection was dismissed as moot after a candidate withdrew; the objection to Andrea Jones’s nomination papers was likewise treated as moot following her withdrawal. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
