We hope again to provide as complete a picture of Colorado's voter behavior as our data will permit. Computations are derived not only for votes cast for each candidate and each office, but also on relative voter turn-out and voter participation by office. The columns for "no" vote count the vot:ers who receivEid a ballot but chose not to vote for that office.

The computer lay-out may need explanation. candidates are listed at the top of the race compilation by name, party affiliation and column number. The votes for each candidate are shown by column number •. Also included are summaries by county of votes cast for certified write-in candidates. Our goal in this abstract again is not only to list the votes cast for each candidate for public office, but also to provide the additional information needed by political researchers and candidates to stimulate a more informed and participating voting citize~. Better understanding of voting patterns is important to citizens impacting their government through their ballot power, and for those officials ~lected to public office to more accurately represent their constituents.
