Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Sargents and Saguache County voters will decide several significant races: Colorado's U.S. Senate seat (Class III) is not up in 2026, but one U.S. House seat representing the county (currently District 3) will be on the ballot; the Colorado Governor's office will be contested; all Colorado House of Representatives seats and half of the State Senate seats will be up for election, including the district covering Saguache County; and several Saguache County offices including County Commissioner seats will likely appear on the ballot depending on term expirations. Voters should consult the County Clerk closer to the election for candidate lists, ballot measures, and voter guides. Colorado law (C.R.S. § 1-7.5-107) allows any registered voter to request a replacement ballot if the original is lost or damaged, and voters can track their ballot status online at govotecolorado.gov to confirm receipt and counting.
