Election Update Fall 2025

On September 15, 2025, the Colorado State Personnel Board initiated the nominating process for a Board Election as provided by Board Rule 1-2(C) for the term that started on July 1, 2025.  No candidate submitted the required nominations by the deadline. As a result, the Board will be reinitiating the nominating process as provided by Board Rule 1-2(E)(2). Please check this website regularly for updates.

Information regarding unsuccessful election held in the spring. This spring, the Board conducted an unsuccessful Board Member Election because no candidate submitted the required nominating petitions.  As a result, nobody was elected to serve for the term that started on July 1, 2025, and Euell Thomas continues to serve as a holdover Board Member.  The Board engaged in public rulemaking at its July 2025 meeting to amend the Board Rules to facilitate the nominating process in circumstances where no candidate submits the required number of nomination petitions.  The amended Rule became effective September 15, 2025.

Reminder: no campaign activities at work.  During work time, state employees may not engage in campaign related activities like collection of signatures, advocacy, message development, or fundraising.  Campaign activities should be conducted after hours and away from state offices.  However, the Board does not object to employees taking a brief period to complete and transmit their own nominating petition.
