Who has voted so far in Douglas County
Ballots returned in Douglas County, Colorado for the November 3, 2026 election, by party, against the same point in 2024 and 2022. From the Secretary of State's daily ballot-return reports.
First count expected Tuesday, Oct. 20
Counties began processing returned ballots Monday, Oct. 19. The Secretary of State publishes a ballots-returned report every weekday from the first processing day through the week after the election, with every county broken out by party. This page fills in the morning the first one posts and updates daily after that.
For scale: 14 days before the 2024 election, Douglas County had returned 55,441 ballots (40.8 percent from unaffiliated voters, 35.5 Republican, 22.7 Democratic). At the same point in 2022 it was 20,198.
How to read this
A returned ballot is one the county has received and logged, not one that has been counted; nothing is tallied until after 7 p.m. on November 3. Party is the voter's registration, not how they voted. Unaffiliated voters are half of Douglas County's rolls and routinely the largest share of early returns, so the Democratic-minus-Republican figure says how the two parties' registrants are pacing each other, nothing more.
Mail ballots dominate the early days and in-person voting at the county's 23 centers grows through Election Day. Comparisons to 2024 use the same number of days before Election Day; 2024 was a presidential year, so its totals run higher than a midterm's at every point.
