SB 25-172

Senate Bill 25-172 allows special districts in Colorado to cancel elections when there is only one candidate running for a director position and the number of candidates does not exceed the available positions. This affects voters within specific director districts who would otherwise participate in these elections. Since the bill has been signed into law, special districts can now proceed with cancelling such uncontested elections without needing to hold them, which simplifies the electoral process when there is a clear winner.

Official Summary

The act clarifies that a special district may cancel an election in a director district if the only matter to be decided at the election is who will be director of the director district, there are not more candidates than positions for director, and the only individuals who may vote are the eligible electors within the director's district. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
