Colorado Secretary of State: latest ballot returns

DENVER, June 20, 2016 -- As of 7:46 this morning, here's the latest tally from county clerks of mail ballots received and in-person votes for the June 28 primary election.

Democrats -- Ballots sent: 986,252; Ballots returned: 119,614; Percent: 12.12%

Republicans -- Ballots sent: 994,450; Ballots returned: 121,183; Percent: 12.18%

The county-by-county chart included in this release reflects a change in how the Colorado Secretary of State reports ballot returns. Last week's release showed only ballots that already had gone through signature verification; today's report and all subsequent ones will reflect the number of ballots received by the county, even if they are waiting to be reviewed by election judges.

Ballots are going out to only Republicans and Democrats. Unaffiliated voters can participate in the primary by affiliating with either the Democrats or Republicans. This must be done today in order to get a ballot delivered by mail, or they can vote in person at vote centers through 7 p.m. in Election Day.

The only contested statewide race is the GOP primary for U.S. Senate where five Republicans are vying for the chance to unseat Democrat Michael Bennet in November. Also on the ballot are races for seven congressional districts, three Board of Education seats, three University of Colorado regent seats, 18 of 35 Senate seats, all 65 House seats, all 22 district attorney offices and assorted county commissioner races.
