Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1. Elections § 1-5-906. Minority language sample ballots--county clerk

(1) The county clerk of any county that satisfies the criteria specified in section 1-5-905(1) shall, in coordination with the secretary of state, create a minority language sample ballot in any minority language spoken in the county that satisfies the following:

(2) The minority language sample ballot must include all of the same content that is on the English language ballot.

(3) A county clerk that is required to create a minority language sample ballot in one or more minority languages pursuant to this section shall provide such minority language sample ballots for the general election held in November 2022, and for each general election and statewide odd-year election thereafter.

(4) The minority language sample ballot must include the instructions for every ballot style in the county. The county clerk is not required to create a sample ballot for every ballot style in the county but may instead create one master document containing all the candidates, questions, and instructions included on every ballot style in the county. Instead of creating one master document, the county clerk may choose to create a minority language sample ballot for each ballot style in the county.

(5) The county clerk shall make the minority language sample ballot available and accessible to electors in the county on the website of the county clerk and at voter service and polling centers county-wide. The county clerk shall notify all electors in the county via the mail ballot packet and in each language in which a minority language sample ballot will be created that a minority language sample ballot is available.

(6) A county clerk shall ensure that the translation provided for the minority language sample ballot is performed by one or more qualified translators.
