What about the Special Election?

That's right! Congressman Ken Buck is retiring early, so there's going to be a special election on June 25 to replace him.

Both major parties will select one candidate each for this election. The winner will serve out the rest of Rep. Buck's 2023-2025 term.

This is a separate process from the 2024 assemblies & the primary election! Those results have to do with this November's election for the 2025-2027 Congressional term.

More information is on our "Special Election" page.
