Crook, Colorado voters are served by the Logan County Clerk and Recorder's Office, Elections Division, located at 315 Main Street, Sterling, CO 80751, phone (970) 522-1544, website www.logancountyco.gov. This office administers all federal, state, county, and special district elections for Crook residents. Colorado residents can register to vote online through the Colorado Secretary of State's website at www.govotecolorado.gov, which provides online registration up to eight days before any election; voters can also register in person at the county clerk's office or at any Colorado driver's license office. Eligible voters must be U.S. citizens, Colorado residents for at least 22 days before the election, and at least 16 years old (though you must be 18 to vote). Colorado allows 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register. Because Crook is an unincorporated community without municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections; residents vote in county, state, and federal elections only. Logan County voters participate in elections for county commissioners, sheriff, clerk and recorder, assessor, treasurer, coroner, and surveyor, as well as state legislative seats, statewide offices, and federal positions. Colorado is a universal mail ballot state: all active registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot for every election, typically sent 18-22 days before election day. Voters can return ballots by mail (postage-paid), deposit them in 24-hour drop boxes located throughout the county (including locations in Sterling), or vote in person at Voter Service and Polling Centers during the early voting period and on election day. To find their assigned Voter Service and Polling Center, Crook residents can use the polling place lookup tool at www.govotecolorado.gov or contact the Logan County Clerk. Public election records in Colorado include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance reports (searchable at www.tracer.sos.colorado.gov), candidate filings, and precinct-level election results, all accessible through the Secretary of State's website or the county clerk's office. In the November 2024 general election, Logan County reported approximately 60-65% voter turnout, consistent with rural Colorado counties in presidential election years. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Crook and Logan County voters will decide several significant races: Colorado's gubernatorial election (Governor Jared Polis's term expires in 2027, so this race will determine his successor or re-election); all of Colorado's eight U.S. House seats; Colorado state legislature seats including State Senate District 1 and State House District 63 which cover Logan County; and county offices including county commissioner seats and potentially other county positions depending on term schedules. No U.S. Senate seat from Colorado is scheduled for election in 2026 (Colorado's next Senate race is in 2028 for the seat currently held by Senator Michael Bennet). Voters will also decide on any state ballot initiatives and local ballot questions regarding taxes, bonds, or other county matters. To request an absentee/mail ballot in Colorado, voters need only be registered; all registered voters automatically receive mail ballots. Voters who need replacement ballots or wish to update their mailing address should contact the Logan County Clerk and Recorder at (970) 522-1544.
