ELECTION ALERTS
 MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE!

Ballots for the June 28, 2022, Primary Election were mailed the week of June 6, 2022, to all active eligible electors.  If you have not received your ballot by June 17, 2022, contact our office at 970-522-1544.  June 28, 2022, Primary Election will be conducted as an all-Mail Ballot Election.  The ballot you receive in the mail is your Official Election Ballot. 

UNAFFILIATED VOTERS: Colorado law allows unaffiliated voters to vote in a primary election. 

Here is how it works:

1. You will receive two ballots in your packet, one Democratic ballot and one Republican ballot. 

2. Choose ONLY ONE of these ballots and fill it out.  Discard the ballot you won’t use.

3. Sign your return envelope and return your ONE voted ballot in the return envelope. 

Sending in two voted ballots will disqualify all of your votes.  Your vote in this election will not affiliate you with a political party. 

 

RETURNING YOUR VOTED BALLOT:  Ballots may be voted and returned to the Clerk and Recorder’s Office any time after receiving the ballot in the mail.  It is not necessary to wait until Election Day to vote. 

*Logan County Clerk and Recorder’s Office Election Department will be open on Saturday, June 25, 2022, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for ballot drop off, replacement ballots, unaffiliated electors to declare party affiliation and obtain a ballot.
