The abstract report contains the official statewide election results from the 2015 coordinated election, the 2016 primary election, and the 2016 general election. Additional information is available at ACE, Accountability in Colorado Elections, available online at www.sos.state. co.us. The 2016 general election is the second general election and the first presidential election in Colorado in which all active voters were mailed a ballot. The report contains voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. My office compiled the results and information from material submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. In the November election, Colorado once again was a national leader in voter turnout, ranking fourth among the states in terms of turnout among the voting eligible population. Nearly 2.9 million Coloradans participated in the election. Colorado also claims the distinction of having the highest percentage of registered eligible voters with online registration available at www.govotecolorado.com. Thank you for making Colorado a leader in voting participation. Sincerely, Wayne W.

Results & Officer Information Reported by the Counties The election results and county officer information in this abstract were obtained from each of Colorado’s 64 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 each county. Judicial Officer Information Judicial officer information, including dates of oath and terms of office, was provided by the Office of the State Court Administrator. 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 “Ballots Cast” is the number of voters who cast a ballot in each contest. The column titled “Turnout %” reflects the percentage of registered voters who cast a ballot in each contest. The county-level turnout, located at the back of the abstract, is provided using both active voters and registered voters. 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. 3 Directory Name Party Home City District Term Salary United States Senators Cory Gardner REP Yuma State 2015-2021 $174,000 Michael Bennet DEM Denver State 2017-2023 $174,000 Congressional Members Diana DeGette DEM Denver 1 2017-2019 $174,000 Jared Polis DEM Boulder 2 2017-2019 $174,000 Scott R.
