Colorado’s State Primary Election Is Official

Denver, July 28, 2020 – Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced today that the state’s bipartisan canvass boards have submitted their official abstract of votes, thereby concluding the 2020 State Primary Election.

“Over 1.6 million Coloradans voted in this year’s State Primary election, which set a turnout record even in the midst of a global pandemic,” said Secretary Griswold. “Colorado’s election model works and Colorado voters are engaged in determining the future of our state. I’d like to recognize and thank everyone who took part in this year’s election, and I’m particularly proud of our Elections Division members’ hard work.”

Last Wednesday, the Secretary of State’s office worked closely with Colorado’s County Clerks to complete a risk-limiting audit state-wide. After which, each county’s bipartisan canvass board certified the election results in each Colorado county. The canvass boards have submitted the final results to the Secretary of State’s office and the election is now deemed official.
