About the Format of this Abstract

Results Contained in the Abstract This publication contains the official certified results for the 2020 General Election for all candidates, judicial retention races, and ballot issues certified to the ballot by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

Major Changes to Colorado Elections Law Colorado continues mailing ballots to all active voters in the state. Prior to 2013, Colorado mailed ballots to voters upon request.

Results & Officer Information Reported by the Counties The results in this abstract are more accurate than the compiled and totaled returns reported on the Secretary of State’s website immediately after the election because they account for any miscalculations in the totals initially reported by Kit Carson County. The election results and county officer information in this abstract were obtained the Secretary of State’s office and the Kit Carson County records.

Registered Voters, Ballots Cast, & Turnout In the results section of this abstract, the column titled “Registered Voters” is the number of registered voters eligible to vote in each contest. The column titled “Total” is the number of ballots counted in each contest. Colorado statute currently requires that county-level turnout be reported by registered voters. However, prior to 2011, statute required that turnout be reported by active voters. To allow comparison of turnout data throughout the years, we have chosen to provide the turnout data for both active and registered voters.
