Reporting%20Due%20Dates_edited.jpg

Pitkin County elects its county officials differently than every other county in Colorado. This is because as a county, Pitkin has adopted a 'Home Rule Charter' setting forth the qualifications of county officers and the manner in which they are elected.  In particular, Pitkin County's Home Rule Charter provides equality of access to the primary election ballot by all candidates regardless of their political party affiliation, while preserving each candidate’s ability to seek the designation of his or her political party if he or she chooses to do so. Moreover, the Home Rule Charter imposes campaign finance restrictions – on candidates for county offices, political committees that support or oppose them, and committees supporting or opposing issues or questions referred to the electorate by the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners - that are different from the campaign finance rules applicable to candidates for statewide, state district, school board, and hospital district offices among others.
