Bill	County Commissioner Vacancies	The act modifies the process for filling vacancies in an unexpired term in the office of county commissioner for county commissioners affiliated with a major political party in counties that are not home rule counties and that have at least 50,000 active voters as of the last general election (vacancy). If a vacancy occurs on or after July 31 of an even-numbered year that the seat was not scheduled to be on the ballot at the general election but before July 31 of an odd-numbered year, the vacancy must be filled by vacancy committee selection until the next regularly scheduled odd-year November election following the vacancy, rather than until the next general election as is the case for vacancies that occur at other times, when the vacancy must be filled by vacancy election (vacancy election). An individual elected at a vacancy election serves until the next general election.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2025A	HB 25-1319	Colorado HB 25-1319 (2025A)	bill		enacted	Barbara Kirkmeyer Monica Duran Robert Rodriguez Rose Pugliese	11	17	4	2025-04-02T06:00:00+00:00	2025-05-28T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/15d2ebea-5e86-4ee2-bb55-baf906953760	https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1319	9a02b09fa3ab36f5c965544c809bc74e1d66de7de09bea7712f351fd164f5902	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
