Colorado’s county clerks and recorders are the chief election administrators in their county and they sit on the local canvassing board. And this is an elected position: Most counties are electing their clerks during the 2022 midterms, with large stakes for election administration given the pressure that the Big Lie is putting on election officials.

Below are all the candidates who are running for the Democratic and Republican nomatination in the June 28 primaries in Colorado counties of at least 30,000 people. (For other counties, local election offices provide a list of candidates.) Note that independent candidates may also appear on the November ballot; Bolts will update the page in the fall with this information.
