Well over a dozen presidential candidates have qualified so far to be listed on Colorado’s ballot for the Nov. 3 election.
The list does not yet include the major-party candidates, as President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, still must have their names formally submitted by their parties. Major and minor parties have until Sept. 7 to submit paperwork to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office; the ballot will be finalized at that point.
The deadline was Aug. 5 for candidates who went another route: paying a $1,000 filing fee and submitting notarized statements of intent and signatures from nine electors who are registered Colorado voters. That is how rapper Kanye West made the state’s ballot.
Still others have registered as write-in candidates. Their votes will be counted, but their names won’t be listed on the ballot.
