Colorado Secretary of State Announces Mandatory Recount of Colorado House District 16 Race

Denver, November 25, 2024 - Secretary of State Jena Griswold has ordered a mandatory recount of the results for the 2024 General Election State House Representative race for District 16. Because the vote differential in this race is within 0.5% of the winner’s total, a recount is required according to Colorado Revised Statutes § 1-10.5-101(1)(b).

The county within this district has been notified to begin preparations to proceed with a recount for this race, which must be completed by December 6.

Once the recount begins, the county in House District 16 will work with the bipartisan canvass board to complete a logic and accuracy test (LAT) on the required tabulation equipment. Following the LAT tests, the county will begin recounting all ballots for the State Representative race.

House District 16 is in El Paso County.
