The only contested statewide race is the GOP primary for U.S. Senate where five Republicans are vying for the chance to unseat Democrat Michael Bennet in November. Also on the ballot are races for seven congressional districts, three Board of Education seats, three University of Colorado regent seats, 18 of 35 Senate seats, all 65 House seats, all 22 district attorney offices and assorted county commissioner races.
Unaffiliated voters can participate in the primary by affiliating with either the Democrats or Republicans. This must be done by June 20 in order to get a ballot delivered by mailed, or they can vote in person at vote centers through 7 p.m. in Election Day.
