Turnout in the city’s all-mail runoff election between Steve Bach and Richard Skorman, who are battling it out to become Colorado Springs’ first strong mayor, has climbed to 35.45 percent.

Of the 154,778 ballots that were mailed out to voters, 53,540 have been returned and scanned as of Friday, the City Clerk’s Office reported today.

The most ballots — 17,899 — have come from City Council District 1, the northwest quadrant of the city.

The least number of ballots — 9,519 — have come from District 4, the southeast quadrant of the city.

Voters in District 2, the northeast quadrant of the city, and in District3, the southwest part of Colorado Springs, have both turned in 13,108 ballots and 13,014 ballots, respectively.
