Supreme Court of Colorado

Carson v. Reiner

May 23, 20162016 CO 38

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of a pre-election petition seeking to invalidate a school-board candidate’s certification and prevent votes for that candidate from being counted. It held that the specific five-day procedure for challenging a candidate’s qualifications barred an elector from using the general election-code enforcement provision to bring an indirect qualification challenge after that period expired.
