Why Voting Matters
In Grand County, the people who show up to vote decide who represents everyone. The next election for Grand 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. With restaurants and hospitality and arts and recreation among the county's biggest employers, issues like tourism and small businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.
In the 2024 presidential election, about 9,880 ballots were cast in Grand County, about the same as the 9,870 cast in 2020. With roughly 13,700 adults living in the county, that is around 72% of adult residents, above the statewide rate of about 68%.
That means roughly 3,770 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, Grand County would add about 189 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
