News Release
Ballots returned as of 12:17 a.m. June 29, 2018
DENVER, June 29, 2018 -- Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams announced today that 1,176,523 Coloradans have returned ballots for the primary election.
Of that, 469,771 ballots were cast by Democrats, 415,379 by Republicans and 291,376 by unaffiliated voters. The report is attached.
County clerks are still processing ballots. July 5 is the last day for a military-and-overseas ballot to arrive, and the last day for a voter to cure a missing signature or a signature discrepancy.
The ballot-return reports do not list the number of Coloradans who voted in person at a Voter Service and Polling Center, which opened on June 18. The total is 13,543.
This is the only report that will be issued today. There will be updates on the Secretary of State's reporting page.
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. In March, Secretary Williams launched the UChooseCO campaign to stress to unaffiliated voters to pick one ballot.
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."
