Colorado’s 2026 ballot will include seven judicial contests that every voter will see. The ballot overview identifies the number of judges but does not provide the judges’ names, the courts involved or the wording voters will see.

That information is important because judicial contests can appear alongside candidate races and ballot measures. Voters will need the official 2026 ballot information to review each judge and the question connected with the contest.

The seven contests are part of Colorado’s 2026 election cycle. No candidate race or policy question is directly linked to this item.

What is identified

  • Seven judges will appear on every Colorado voter’s 2026 ballot.
  • The contests are judicial, rather than candidate races for a legislative or executive office.

What voters will need

The names of the judges, the courts they serve and the exact ballot language will be needed before voters can evaluate each contest. Those details are not identified here.

What to watch

  • Official 2026 ballot information identifying the seven judges.
  • The courts involved in each judicial contest.
  • The retention or other question printed for each judge.
