Early Ballot Pick up Services

Whether you’re a snowbird who leaves Boulder County in October, a student studying abroad this fall, or will be away from home for any other reason during election season, you can still vote in the 2025 Coordinated Election. You have a few different options for getting your ballot wherever you will be located.

Pick Up a Ballot Early

You can pick up a ballot from the Boulder County Elections office at 1750 33rd Street in Boulder. Our office is open Monday – Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Early pick up services are available beginning Monday, Sept. 22 until Vote Centers open Monday, Oct. 27.

Please note: Our office is closed Fridays and will also be closed Monday, Oct. 13 for Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Ballot Pick Up and Voting Assistance Appointments

While we always allow walk-ins for early ballot pick-up, we are also offering appointments for voters who would like to have the assistance of a dedicated staff member. Appointments for ballot pick up assistance are available Monday – Thursday, during regular office hours, beginning Monday, Sept. 22.

Starting Tuesday, Oct. 14, assistance will be available for voters who would like to vote in-person on paper or using our accessible Ballot Marking Device. Expanded hours begin when the Vote Center opens on Monday, Oct. 27, with appointments also available on Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1.

Voters can request assistance in English, Spanish, ASL, and other languages. Appointments are only available at our Boulder office, 1750 33rd St., just north of Arapahoe Ave.

Have your Ballot Sent to an Alternative Address

Local/stateside ballots begin mailing Friday, Oct. 10. Ballots cannot be forwarded by the postal service, however, Boulder County Elections can mail your ballot to an alternative address as long as you update your address on or before Oct. 27. Simply update your voter registration record with an alternative mailing address. When you access your voter record, the first address is your residential address (your legal residence). If you don’t want your ballot mailed there, add a mailing address below this option (second address – no need to put anything in the third address area). Just remember to set a personal calendar reminder to update it after the election.

Traveling internationally?

We recommend you pick up your ballot and vote early. But if you cannot and would like to receive your ballot while traveling internationally, you can vote as an overseas voter. When updating your registration, you’ll see a question labeled, “Are you any of the following?” Select the option labeled “An overseas civilian voter who is eligible to vote in Colorado” and then follow the additional prompts about how you would like to receive your ballot. Learn more about this option on our Military and Overseas Voters page. Ballots begin mailing to overseas/military voters on Friday, Sept. 19 and continue to be mailed as registration changes are received through Oct. 27. However, we urge overseas voters to request a ballot as early as possible to give the ballot enough time to travel through the mail.

Did you just register to vote?

If you just registered to vote and it’s on or before Oct. 27, you will automatically be mailed a Boulder County ballot for the 2025 Coordinated Election. If it’s after Oct. 27, come into any Vote Center and we can print out a ballot for you.
