For all the fanfare Election Day brings, most of the voting is over and done in Colorado.

The Secretary of State’s Office has just released the latest total for ballots received. All registered Colorado voters, more than 3.2 million of them, were mailed a ballot beginning Oct. 17. As of Tuesday morning, about 2.2 million had been returned.

Of those, 75 percent of registered Republicans had voted, turning in 6,202 more ballots than Democrats did so far.

Democrats had a 72.7 percent turnout, and unaffiliated voters, the largest group, voted at a 57.6 rate heading into the last day.

Turnout for the 37,825 members of the Libertarian Party in Colorado was 57.3 percent; for the 11.331-member Green Party it was 55.4 percent, and for the 9,742 members of the American Constitution Party it was 53.7 percent.

Turnout for the smallest officially recognized political party in Colorado, the United Party with 807 registered members, was 44.5 percent.
