Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1. Elections § 1-13.5-1405. Trial and appeals

Immediately after the joining of issue, the district court shall fix a date for the trial to commence, which date shall not be more than twenty days nor less than ten days after the joining of issue. The trial takes precedence over all other business in the court. The testimony may be oral or by depositions taken before any officer authorized to take depositions. Any depositions taken to be used upon the trial of such contest may be taken upon four days' notice. The district judge shall cause the testimony to be taken in full and filed in the cause. The trial of such causes must be conducted according to the rules and practice of the district court. Such proceedings may be reviewed and finally adjudicated by the supreme court of this state, if application to that court is made by either party and if the supreme court is willing to assume jurisdiction of the case.
