Colorado voters are deciding a governor’s race, a U.S. Senate seat, all eight U.S. House seats, four statewide offices, 21 state Senate seats, all 65 state House seats and 14 statewide ballot measures.

This page carries results for every race on the Colorado ballot and is updated as counties report and races are called. Races still too close to call are marked pending until they meet our standard for a call.

Statewide, 2,022,581 ballots have been counted, or 49.50% of active voters. Twelve of Colorado’s 64 counties have finished reporting, 51 are partially reported and one has not reported.

Where these numbers come from

Results on this page come from the Colorado Secretary of State’s election night reporting, reflecting the state’s most recent update. The candidate field for each race is drawn from the Secretary of State’s 2026 General Election official candidate list, certified to the counties Sept. 4. Ballot measure language comes from the Secretary of State’s certified list of 2026 ballot measures and the 2026 State Ballot Information Booklet.

Rocky Mountain Voice does not call a race on a projection it has not verified. A race moves from pending to called here when the Secretary of State’s results page shows it and either the trailing candidate concedes or a decision desk calls it.

Results are unofficial until certified.

Statewide ballot measures

Fourteen measures were on the statewide ballot: seven constitutional amendments and seven propositions. Amendments 81 through 86 add language to the state constitution and require 55% approval to pass. Amendment 87, which strikes language from the constitution rather than adding it, passes on a simple majority, as do the seven propositions.

That distinction decides several of these measures. A measure above 50% is not necessarily passing. Amendment 85 leads with 50.2% yes and is well short of the 55% it needs.

Measure figures below are from the Secretary of State’s 8:04 p.m. update.

Measure	Subject	Threshold	Yes	Status
Amendment 81	Law enforcement reporting requirements to federal authorities	55%	44.3%	Below threshold
Amendment 82	Right to natural gas	55%	45.3%	Below threshold
Amendment 83	Constitutional right to hunt and fish	55%	44.0%	Below threshold
Amendment 84	Mail ballot voter identification	55%	35.9%	Below threshold
Amendment 85	Plain language ballot questions	55%	50.2%	Below threshold
Amendment 86	Congressional redistricting	55%	46.1%	Below threshold
Amendment 87	Graduated income tax	Majority	50.7%	Above threshold
Proposition NN	State public K-12 education funding	Majority	55.4%	Above threshold
Proposition 132	Penalties for fentanyl crimes	Majority	52.2%	Above threshold
Proposition 133	Penalties for human trafficking of a minor	Majority	61.3%	Above threshold
Proposition 134	Male and female participation in school sports	Majority	51.7%	Above threshold
Proposition 135	Prohibit certain surgeries on minors	Majority	51.1%	Above threshold
Proposition 136	Income tax rate cap	Majority	46.8%	Below threshold
Proposition 137	Sporting goods sales tax revenue for conservation	Majority	Pending	Pending

None of these measures has been called. All are unofficial and counting continues.
