This week, Colorado County Clerks began mailing ballots to active eligible voters for the Nov. 8 General Election.
County Clerks must mail ballots to voters by Oct. 21 for the General Election. Registered voters who do not receive a ballot should contact their County Clerk.
Eligible Coloradans can still register to vote and update their voter registration at GoVoteColorado.gov through Oct. 31 in order to receive a ballot in the mail. After Oct. 31, Coloradans can still register to vote, receive a ballot, and vote in person at a voting center until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Important information for Colorado voters:
◆ All Colorado voters can sign up to track their ballot from sent to counted using BallotTrax.
◆ Eligible voters who wish to mail back their voted ballot should do so by Oct. 31 to ensure it is received by their county election official by Nov. 8. After Oct. 31 voters should return their ballot to a drop box or voting center.
