The Colfax County Clerk’s office has announced a plan that will allow Colfax County residents who have been displaced by the Ute Park Fire to cast their 2018 Primary Election ballots at alternative locations.
A mandatory evacuation order was issued for the village of Cimarron on Friday and for the community of Ute Park on Saturday.
On Monday, the evacuation order for Cimarron was lifted and residents were cleared to return to their homes.
