News Release
Ballots returned as of 4:10 p.m. Election Day
DENVER, June 25, 2018 -- Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams announced today that so far 983,703 Coloradans have returned ballots for today's primary election.
The report that is attached does not include a breakdown by county as our reports usually do, but it does provide a party breakdown.
Of the total, 385,470 ballots were cast by Democrats, 362,590 by Republicans and 235,643 by unaffiliated voters.
This is the first primary election where unaffiliated voters are allowed to automatically participate. Unaffiliated voters who expressed a preference for a Republican or Democratic ballot were sent that party's ballot, but those who did not were sent both ballots with the caveat: Only vote one, if you vote both neither ballot will count.
The new style of report reflects information about unaffiliated voters. It breaks down ballots by those voters who expressed a preference for the Republican or Democratic ballot. "Pkt" refers to "packets" for unaffiliated voters who got both ballots in the mail. Pkt-Dem and Pkt-Rep indicates which ballot the voter chose. In some cases, the ballots have been received by the clerk but have not yet been tallied so the preference is unknown. That is "pkt-unopened."
