Colorado Statutes § 1-11-216 Judgment in contests for county and nonpartisan elections

⤴ Up to Article 11: Certificates of Election and Election Contests

Statute Text

The district court shall pronounce judgment on whether the contestee or any other person was legally elected to the contested office or on whether the ballot issue or ballot question was enacted. The court's judgment declaring a person elected entitles that person to take office when the term of office begins, upon proper qualification. If the judgment is against a contestee who has received a certificate, the judgment annuls the certificate. If the court finds that no person was legally elected, the judgment shall set aside the election and declare a vacancy in the office contested.
