“Today’s election certification concludes the 2024 General Election,” said Secretary Griswold. “I want to thank county clerks and election workers for their work on this year’s elections.” 

After the election, the Secretary of State’s office worked with Colorado’s County Clerks to complete a bipartisan post-election audit that verified the results of the election.
