Larimer County voters: Here are the Republican, Democratic candidates on the primary ballot

Larimer County voters will soon have their say in which candidates they want to see advance to the general election this fall during next month's primary election.

Primary election day is June 28, and the winners from that election will appear on their party's ballot for November's general election. Candidates at the county, state and federal levels are vying for several offices up for election this year.

Ballots will be mailed the week of June 6. Those registered as a Democrat or Republican will receive their party's ballot, and those who are unaffiliated will receive both ballots but should only fill out and return one.

And yes, all ballots will come with "I voted" stickers.

Voter-specific sample ballots — based on your address — can be found online at larimer.org/clerk/elections/current-elections/2022. A general sample ballot is also posted on the website, and not all voters will be able to vote on all candidates listed on that sample ballot, according to the clerk's office.
