One U.S. Senate seat is up for election - Michael Bennet's seat - plus all of Colorado's 8 U.S. House seats (Parker falls in District 4 or 6 depending on the neighborhood), and all Colorado House of Representatives seats since all 65 members serve 2-year terms. Douglas County offices on the ballot in 2026 include County Commissioner seats, as three commissioners serve staggered 4-year terms, and potentially Sheriff and other county positions depending on the electoral cycle. Parker Town Council seats may also appear if any coincide with November elections, though municipal elections typically occur in April odd years.
