Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold Certifies the State’s 2025 Coordinated Election

Denver, November 26, 2025 - Secretary of State Jena Griswold today certified the statewide 2025 Coordinated Election, making the results of the election official and final. 

“Today’s election certification concludes the statewide 2025 Coordinated Election,” said Secretary Griswold. “I want to thank county clerks and election workers for their work on this year’s elections.” 

After the election, the Secretary of State’s office worked with Colorado’s County Clerks to complete a bipartisan post-election audit that verified the results of the election. After the audit, each county’s canvass board certified the election results. The canvass boards then submitted the final results to the Secretary of State’s office. Some counties continue to conduct recounts of local contests, and will certify those local contests when complete. 

Returning a mail ballot was the preferred method for voters, with 98.23% of voters choosing to cast their mail ballot during the 2025 Coordinated Election – a total of 1,686,307 ballots returned – and 1.77% of voters choosing to vote in-person – 30,348 total ballots returned.
