<p><span style="font-weight:400">Dear Community,</span></p>
<p>Primary election ballots are out! This year\u2019s primary is on June
30<sup>th</sup>. Your ballot must be returned (NOT postmarked) by 7pm
on June 30th. </p>
<p><b>What is a primary?</b></p>
<p>A primary determines who will advance to the general election in
November. During the primary, there are multiple candidates running
from the same party to be the party\u2019s nominee for the general
election. In a primary election you are choosing who you want to be
your party\u2019s candidate on the general election ballot. In some places,
the election is the primary because candidates have no challenger from
an opposing party and will be the only candidate on the ballot in
November.</p>
<p><b>Who can vote in a primary?</b></p>
<p>Anyone in Colorado who is a registered voter can vote in the
primary. If you are a registered Republican, you will only receive the
Republican primary ballot. If you are a registered Democrat, you will
only receive the Democratic primary ballot. <b>If you are an
independent, you will receive BOTH a Republican and Democratic ballot
BUT you can ONLY vote ONE ballot.</b> You need to choose whether
you want to vote in the Republican or Democratic primary ballot and
only vote that ballot and return it. <b>If you return both
ballots, neither will be counted.</b></p>
<p><b>What is the deadline for returning my ballot?</b></p>
<p>All ballots must be returned (NOT postmarked) by 7pm on June
30<sup>th</sup>. If you need help finding a drop box or voter service
and polling center, <a href="https://ccdc.nationbuilder.com/r?u=1-maTABZROga0ULIQUkvO_msRRXEyBtgZdMB5-LsNYs&e=53d4b807dd5cc38cac8a3118634fa2f4&utm_source=ccdc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=primary_2026_email&n=1" target="_blank">Just
Vote Colorado</a> has the tools to help you find your closest
location!</p>
<p><b>What should I do if I don\u2019t receive a ballot?</b></p>
<p>You can request a new ballot from your county clerk OR vote in
person at a local voter service and polling center. Make sure that
your address is updated so you receive a ballot for the general
election in November.</p>
<p><b>What should I do if I\u2019m not registered, but want to
vote?</b></p>
<p>You can register to vote through election day online or at any
voter service and polling center.</p>
<p><b>Having trouble voting or have additional
questions?</b></p>
