On your Highlands Ranch ballot

November 3, 2026 general election. Ballots are mailed starting October 2.

No local race. Highlands Ranch is unincorporated, so there is no city government to vote for, and the Highlands Ranch Metro District's board last elected directors on May 6, 2025 with the next director election set for May 4, 2027. Your ballot is the countywide, state and federal races plus judicial retention.
