Colorado primary turnout hits high point amid crowded statewide races
Turnout in the recent Colorado primary election, with executive-level offices up for grabs and a competitive congressional primary, was 10 percentage points higher than in 2024.
As of Monday, turnout for the June 30 primary was around 35.9% of active voters, compared with 25.5% in the 2024 primary election, according to the secretary of state’s office. In 2022, the most recent midterm year, the turnout was about 32%.
That means nearly 1.5 million Coloradans voted in the primary this year.
In Denver County, site of Colorado’s most populous city, turnout, at about 38.4%, was slightly higher than the statewide rate, according to the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s office. That is much higher than the approximately 18.2% turnout rate in the city in 2024 and 24.5% rate in 2022.
