Ballots for June 25th primary election mailing out to Colorado voters Monday
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Ballots are on their way to Colorado voters mailboxes on Monday for the June 25th primary election.
11 News spoke with the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder, who is mailing out about 450,000 ballots. Historically, turnout for a primary election is about 60%.
“Our registered republicans, democrats and unaffiliated voters will receive a ballot. However, those that are in a minor party and do not have an election going on will not receive a ballot because they don’t have a primary race,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker.
If you are unaffiliated, you will receive both ballots, but can only vote with one. The Clerk and Recorder reports about 2,000 voters submitted both ballots in the March presidential primary election, which meant neither counted. In addition, over 6,000 El Paso County voters near Calhan and Yoder, out to the state-line, will receive an additional ballot for the Congressional District 4 race.
“I actually think is a larger election than the November election. This is where the parties are determining who is going to be representing them to go into the general election, a lot of decisions. If you sit there and you look at some of these races, there’s like 4-5 candidates in each race, and it’s going to take us as voters to do a lot of education,” said Schleiker.
If you don’t receive your ballot by about Friday, you’re asked to contact the Clerk and Recorder’s office. Monday is also the last day you can change your party affiliation. Ballots are due Tuesday, June 25 by 7 p.m.
“Many of us will be receiving our ballots Monday or Tuesday. However, we need to keep in mind, we have a number of voters that live just Woodmen north. Those ballot sadly go to Denver first and then turn right around and come back here. That does create some confusion with voters,” said Schleiker.

Colorado has landed a significant addition to their offensive line with the transfer of Texas A&M offensive lineman Aki Ogunbiyi. This move signals head coach Deion Sanders’ ongoing commitment to the trenches after a season plagued by pass protection struggles.
Ogunbiyi, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound lineman from Houston, Texas, brings experience and potential to a unit that ranked near the bottom nationally in sacks allowed, giving up 39 in 2024.
Ogunbiyi’s decision to transfer to Colorado comes after four seasons at Texas A&M, where he showcased his talent despite limited playing time. Originally a four-star recruit in the 2020 class, Ogunbiyi was ranked as the No. 9 offensive guard in the nation and the No. 34 player in Texas. His arrival at College Station was met with high expectations, and while he contributed in multiple games, his full potential was never fully realized during his time with the Aggies.
Deion Sanders says he won’t attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay
Over the course of his career at Texas A&M, Ogunbiyi accumulated 654 offensive snaps, starting eight games and earning the team’s Offensive Most Improved Player Award. His size, strength, and pedigree as a run blocker align well with the Buffaloes’ urgent need to establish a more formidable offensive line presence. In the 2023 season, Ogunbiyi appeared in three games against McNeese, Missouri, and New Mexico State before entering the transfer portal.
For Colorado, Ogunbiyi’s arrival could provide an immediate boost to their offensive line, a crucial factor as the Buffaloes aim to contend in the Big 12.
With only one year of eligibility remaining, Ogunbiyi is expected to compete for a starting role at either guard position this spring. His experience against SEC competition and accolades as an improved offensive player could make him a pivotal piece in Colorado’s efforts to protect quarterback Shedeur Sanders and strengthen the run game.
As Coach Prime continues to reshape the roster, Ogunbiyi’s transfer underscores the Buffaloes’ focus on enhancing their offensive line – a critical step toward achieving their championship aspirations.
