Primary election ballots are headed to Colorado voters

County clerks started sending primary election ballots in the mail to Colorado voters on Monday.

DENVER — There's a little over three weeks until Colorado's primary elections, and county clerks started sending ballots to Colorado voters on Monday.

These votes will decide which Republican and Democratic nominees will advance to the November ballot in races across the state.

Unaffiliated voters will receive both major parties' ballots but can only vote and return one. Voters who are registered as Democrats or Republicans will only receive their party's primary ballot in the mail.

County clerks have until Friday to mail out ballots. Voters have until 7 p.m. on election day, June 25, to return ballots or to vote in person at voting centers, which will soon open across the state.

Voters in Colorado's 4th Congressional District will have an additional election on their ballot, where they will vote to decide which candidate will fill the remainder of retired Congressman Ken Buck's term. This will be on the same ballot as the district's general primary, which decides who will be on the November ballot to permanently fill Buck's seat. 

9NEWS hosted a debate between Republican candidates in that primary on May 30.

You can register to vote or update your information at GoVoteColorado.gov. That website also tells voters where to find ballot drop boxes and local voting centers

All eight of Colorado's congressional districts have candidates on the ballot. You can use this map to find out which congressional district you're in.

You can track your ballot using the statewide BallotTrax system, which sends you updates by email or text as your ballot travels through the system.
