§ C.R.S. § 1-11-216Judgment in contests for county and nonpartisan elections

en · 590 chars · active
The district
court shall pronounce judgment on whether the contestee or any other person was legally elected
to the contested office or on whether the ballot issue or ballot question was enacted. The court's
judgment declaring a person elected entitles that person to take office when the term of office
begins, upon proper qualification. If the judgment is against a contestee who has received a
certificate, the judgment annuls the certificate. If the court finds that no person was legally
elected, the judgment shall set aside the election and declare a vacancy in the office contested.
