The final day to cast a ballot in Colorado’s party primary elections is today. Polls are open through 7 p.m.
The ballot will include party-related ballot items and a special election to select what has been termed a “placeholder” in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, completing the unexpired term of ex-U.S. Rep. Ken Buck. In that election, there will be a choice of a Democrat, Republican and two minor-party candidates for the unexpired term.
While all voters will be eligible to participate in the 4th District special election, they will otherwise only be able to participate in their party of choice’s primary or select a primary as an unaffiliated voter.
Registration can be completed in person at a voting center until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Following is other information of importance for voters, provided by the Secretary of State:
- The Secretary of State’s office encourages voters to use ColoradoSOS.gov or GoVoteColorado.gov to access state resources. County clerks may be accessed through GoVoteColorado.gov.
- All registered voters may participate in BallotTrax, an online tracker of their ballot from the point it is sent to the county clerk to the point it is counted.
- On Election Day, voters should file ballots through a dropbox or at a voting center. Registered voters wishing to vote in-person may do so on Election Day until 7 p.m.
- Colorado voters can visit GoVoteColorado.gov to: Find their local county clerk; Find their closest drop box or voting center; Sign up to track their ballot using BallotTrax; Learn about Colorado’s secure election processes; and find accurate election information.
