Why Voting Matters
Every eligible adult in Elbert County, Colorado holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's. The next election for Elbert County voters is Colorado's 2028 presidential primary, on a date the governor will set no later than March 21, 2028, though a statewide ballot issue could come first on November 2, 2027; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Many Elbert County jobs are in construction and retail, so decisions about roads and housing and local businesses hit close to home.
Elbert County voters cast about 20,400 ballots for president in 2024, up about 8% from 19,000 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 23,600 adult residents, that works out to about 86%, above the statewide rate of about 68%.
That means roughly 3,220 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Elbert County would add about 161 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
