Updated Nov. 4, 2026, after the state’s 11:26 a.m. MT results update. County race figures below were last posted by Eagle County at 12:58 a.m. MT. All results are unofficial.
Eagle County voters have given Ballot Issue 5B a clear early lead, while the county’s unofficial returns show Rebecca Anderson ahead in the sheriff’s race, Kathleen Brendza ahead for commissioner and Andie Noakes ahead for assessor. Avon’s four council seats also have a provisional top four. Ballots can still be counted, and none of these results is certified.
Is Eagle County Schools’ 5B passing?
The Colorado election-results portal reported 11,299 yes votes (58.61%) and 7,979 no votes (41.39%) across the district in its Nov. 4, 11:26 a.m. update. The Eagle County portion was 11,273 yes to 7,946 no. These numbers are a snapshot, not a certified outcome.
5B would authorize additional operating revenue for Eagle County School District beginning in 2027. Our earlier 5B explainer details the proposed uses, the district’s cost estimate and its accountability provisions.

Which Avon council candidates lead?
Avon voters could select up to four council members. The four highest vote totals in the county’s current count are Jennie Fancher (852), Ruth Stanley (770), Rich Carroll (697) and Alan Sandberg (573). Justin Chesney follows with 552. The gap between fourth and fifth is small enough that the final order should not be assumed yet.
When will results be final?
The Town of Avon’s election timeline says voters have until Nov. 12 to cure certain ballot-envelope issues. It lists Nov. 25 for certification. We will treat these standings as provisional until the official canvass is complete.
