Commissioners formally canvass Nov. 4 constitutional amendment election; county official reports 2,782 ballots counted

County election administrator Rebecka Lacourse told the Colorado County Commissioners Court on Nov. 10 that the county’s official tally from the Nov. 4, 2025 Constitutional Amendment Election recorded 2,782 ballots counted. “There was a total of 2,782 ballots counted and all seventeen amendments were approved in the county,” Lacourse said.

The court moved to approve the canvass after the results and supporting precinct summaries were presented. Judge Ty Prause made the motion to approve the canvass and Commissioner Shannon Owers seconded; the motion passed 5 ayes, 0 nays.

The minutes and attached reports included county-level totals and precinct-by-precinct breakouts for each proposition. The packet shows overall turnout reported at about 19.12% countywide and provides detailed precinct statistics used to reconcile totals.

Why it matters: Canvassing is the formal step that confirms local election returns and makes them the official county record. The court’s approval allows county election officials to certify the return to state authorities and conclude the local post-election reconciliation and reporting.

The court included the full precinct summary reports and an election reconciliation form in the meeting packet. No public comments were recorded during the canvass item. The court’s action was a formal, recorded vote; the canvass was approved without objection and recorded in the minutes.
