June State Primary: Ballots Mailed To Boulder County Voters

BOULDER COUNTY, CO — Ballots for the state primary June 30 have been mailed to voters in Boulder County. Coloradans have a lot of voting to do this year — a few months after the March presidential primary has ended, the June primary is coming up.

Elections officials in Boulder County have issued the following important information for voters:

• If you are a Democrat, you will receive a Democratic primary ballot.
• If you are a Republican, you will receive a Republican primary ballot.
• If you are a Libertarian, you will receive a Libertarian primary ballot.
• If you are unaffiliated, you will receive both a Democratic and a Republican ballot, but you may only return one of the two.
• Minor parties other than the Libertarian Party do not have a primary election, so voters registered with those parties are not eligible to participate in this election.
• 17-year-olds are eligible to vote – and will receive a ballot if they are pre-registered – as long as they will be 18 by the general election on Nov. 3, 2020.
• You can register to vote or check or update your voter registration at GoVoteColorado.

Which seats are up for election?

• The top race on the ballot is the U.S. Senate seat.
• For the major parties, the U.S. Senate race is followed by candidates for U.S. house, the state board of education and/or CU regent (depending on your district), the state legislature, district attorney, and county commissioner.
