This issue lands on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3. The city's public calendar reflects that. There is one firm deadline today, a council night taken off the books, and one public meeting coming up Wednesday. Everything below comes from notices posted on the City of Centennial homepage. Here is what each item means for residents.

Ballot drop box: open until 7 p.m. tonight

The city's homepage says the official ballot drop box at the Centennial Civic Center is open 24/7 until 7 p.m. on Election Day. If your ballot is still sitting on the kitchen counter, today is the day to drop it off.

Why it matters: The Civic Center box is a close-to-home option for residents who would rather hand-deliver a ballot on the final day than send it another way.

Want one more look at the city's own explanation of its tax question before you vote? The city keeps a dedicated page on the sales and use tax measure on the November 2026 ballot. We walked through that ballot language in detail last week, so we won't repeat it here. Whichever way you lean, the city page is a good primary source to read alongside other perspectives.

No City Council meetings tonight

A notice on the city homepage says the City Council study session and regular meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3, have been canceled. That evening is also Election Day.

The same calendar listed a council special meeting for Monday, Nov. 2, at 6 p.m. at the Civic Center. That was the evening before this issue arrived.

Why it matters: If you planned to attend tonight's council meeting or speak during it, that won't happen this week. Check the city calendar for the next scheduled session before marking your own.

Planning and Zoning meets Wednesday

The homepage calendar lists a Planning and Zoning Commission special meeting for Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. at the Civic Center. It is the city meeting on that calendar that falls inside this issue's Nov. 4–10 window.

The Planning and Zoning Commission is the city's resident board for land-use and development matters. Those questions shape what gets built, and where, near homes, shopping centers and business corridors. A special meeting is one held outside the commission's usual schedule.

Why it matters: Land-use proposals often surface at the commission level before later steps. That makes these meetings an early, low-key way to see what may be coming to your part of town. Before heading over, open the meeting listing on the city's site to see what's on the agenda.

Following along

The week after an election can feel like a breather, and Centennial's calendar looks a little lighter than usual. Still, the cancellation notice and the special meetings above were all posted first on the city homepage. That makes it the quickest place to check before you head to the Civic Center for anything.

For today, the takeaway is simple: if you haven't voted yet, the Civic Center drop box closes at 7 p.m. For Wednesday, if development in Centennial is on your mind, the Planning and Zoning Commission is meeting.
