Logan County Commissioner districts are elected on staggered terms, with commissioners serving four-year terms.

Colorado is a vote-by-mail state, meaning all registered voters automatically receive mail ballots approximately 22 days before each election. Voters can return their ballots by mail (postage-paid), deposit them in 24-hour drop boxes located throughout Logan County, or vote in person at voter service and polling centers during the early voting period or on Election Day. Election records that are public in Colorado include voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted), campaign finance disclosure reports searchable at https://tracer.sos.colorado.gov/PublicSite/homepage.aspx, candidate filings and statements, precinct-level election results, and ballot issue texts. In the November 2024 presidential election, Logan County reported approximately 58% voter turnout with roughly 7,500 ballots cast out of approximately 13,000 registered voters, consistent with rural Colorado turnout patterns. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Atwood and Logan County voters will decide several significant races. Colorado's U.S. Senate seat (Class III) is not up in 2026, as Senator Michael Bennet was reelected in 2022 for a term ending in 2029. However, Colorado voters will elect a Governor in 2026, as Governor Jared Polis's current term expires. State legislative races will include Colorado State Senate and Colorado House of Representatives seats; Atwood is located in State Senate District 1 and State House District 63. County-level races in 2026 will likely include Logan County Commissioner seats (depending on the rotation), County Clerk and Recorder, County Sheriff, County Assessor, County Treasurer, and County Coroner. The Logan County Clerk and Recorder's website publishes candidate lists, sample ballots, and election information as filing periods close and elections approach. Colorado allows no-excuse absentee/mail voting, and since all registered voters receive mail ballots automatically, no special application is required unless a voter needs a replacement ballot, which can be requested through the County Clerk's office.
