CORRECT ANSWER:

If AppMaker submits a bid and is awarded the contract, you must disclose your personal interest in, and vote "no" on, the contract is FALSE.

Voting against the selection of AppMaker will not put you in compliance with section 24-18-201, C.R.S. If the transaction involves a "contract" in which you are "interested", as those terms are used in section 24-18-201. C.R.S., , then you must disclose your interest and refrain from voting. The prohibition from voting is absolute and the statute does not distinguish between favorable or unfavorable votes. Thus, the fact that you would be voting against the selection of a vendor in which you are interested is irrelevant.
