When are these offices elected?

The 5 executive offices are all up for election at the same time in November of the even-numbered years between Presidential Elections, often called “mid-term” elections because they happen in the middle of a Presidential term. They all run separately except candidates for Governor who select their running-mate for Lt. Governor. The two are elected as a team.

The CU Regents and State Board of Ed. each stagger the elections of their members so that some of the offices are up for election in November of any even-numbered year. These officials serve for 6-year terms. Members of these boards are elected to represent their Congressional districts, so each board currently has 7 district members. In addition, the CU Regents also have two members who are elected statewide, which is referred to as “At-Large”.
