Ballots addressed to registered voters began hitting the mailstream today in the 64 counties across Colorado.
Election Day is Nov. 5. Ballots must be returned before the close of polls at 7 p.m. on Election Night.
“Today is the first day that ballots can be mailed to all active voters,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement. “I encourage every Coloradan to register to vote or update their registration to make their voice heard in our state and country’s future.”
Ballots must be mailed by Friday, Oct. 18, to all active voters. Residents may review their registration or register to vote at GoVoteColorado.gov through Oct. 28 in order to receive a ballot by mail.
After Oct. 28, registration must be completed in-person at a voting center. Colorado is a same-day registration state.
Voters concerned with election integrity may track their ballot through BallotTrax. Ballots not received by a county clerk’s office by 7 p.m. Nov. 5 may not be counted. Beginning Oct. 29, it is recommended all voters return ballots either by drop box or a voting center. In-person voting on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, will be available from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. More voting information is available at GoVoteColorado.gov.
