  "textContent": "by Lindsey Toomer, Colorado Newsline\n\nCounty clerks in Colorado can begin mailing out ballots to registered voters Monday for the June 30 primary election.\n\nVoters registered with a political party will only receive the primary ballot for their party. Unaffiliated voters will receive ballots from both the Colorado Democratic and Republican parties and can choose which one to return.\n\nThe Libertarian Party of Colorado blocked unaffiliated voters from participating in the party’s primary election, but unaffiliated voters who want to vote in the Unity Party’s primary may request a ballot from their county clerk. Two Libertarian candidates are running for secretary of state, and two Unity Party candidates are running for governor.\n\nGET THE MORNING HEADLINES.SUBSCRIBE\n\nVoters can update their registration through June 22 and still expect to receive a ballot in the mail. Anyone who registers after that will need to request a ballot in-person from their county clerk or at a voter service and polling center if they wish to vote in the primary election. Eligible voters can update their registration through Election Day.\n\nColoradans can search for a voter service and polling center or a drop box for mail ballots on the secretary of state’s website. County clerks must receive all ballots by 7 p.m. on Election Day.\n\nBallotTrax allows Colorado voters to track their ballot from the time it is mailed to them until it is counted.\n\nAs of June 1, Colorado has just over 4 million active registered voters. Slightly more than 50% of those voters are unaffiliated.\n\nVoter turnout in midterm elections is typically lower than in presidential election years.\n\nCandidates who win their party primary will move forward to the general election in November, which will feature races for one U.S. Senate seat, governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, every one of the 65 state House seats, and 21 of the 35 state Senate seats.\n\nColoradans can consult Colorado Newsline’s 2026 Voter Guide for information on contested primary races.\n\nYOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE.SUPPORT\n\nColorado Newsline is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity. Colorado Newsline maintains editorial independence. Contact Editor Quentin Young for questions: info@coloradonewsline.com.",
