Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1. Elections § 1-5-505.5. State reimbursement to counties for elections with state certified ballot content

(1)(a) For any state primary, coordinated, general, congressional vacancy, special legislative, or recall election conducted after July 1, 2024, where the state certifies any ballot content, the state shall reimburse each county for forty-five percent of the costs that the county incurs in conducting the election, including the cost of printing and supplies. The remainder of the costs that the county incurs in conducting the election is a county charge, the payment of which is provided in the same manner as the payment of other expenses. The secretary of state may adopt rules for determining which costs are necessary and reasonable and therefore reimbursable by the state.

(b) For a coordinated election, the political subdivisions for which the county clerk and recorder will conduct a coordinated election shall enter into an agreement with the county clerk and recorder pursuant to section 1-7-116(2) for a reasonable sharing of the county's costs of the coordinated election that are not reimbursed by the state pursuant to subsection (1)(a) of this section among the county and the political subdivisions.

(c) Presidential primary elections shall be funded pursuant to 24-21-104.5(2).
