A Last-Minute Guide to Voting in Colorado’s Midterm Election
Voters are deciding races for governor, Congress and the legislature, along with 14 statewide measures and a Front Range rail tax proposal.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, Coloradans are casting ballots for governor, U.S. Senate, and legislative races, with polls remaining open until 7 p.m. and same-day voter registration available in person.
State figures show 1.6 million voters had cast ballots by Nov. 1, representing a nearly 20% increase in turnout compared to the 2022 midterm election.
Secretary of State Jena Griswold said election officials are "standing strong" against federal interference, as Justice Department monitors are restricted to outside Adams County voting locations under state law.
Most counties will report results starting after polls close at 7 p.m., while residents can track individual ballot status using BallotTrax, with final tallies for close races expected within days.
Beyond executive and federal contests, voters are deciding on 14 statewide ballot measures and 65 state House seats, which will shape political control of Congress during President Donald Trump's final two years.
