Traveling in October / November? Here are your options to get your ballot:

1. Pick up a mail ballot early: You can pick up a mail ballot anytime Monday to Thursday* from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. beginning September 23 until Vote Centers open October 21 for full voting services. Simply come in to our main office at 1750 33rd Street in Boulder.
2. Alternative mailing address: Local/stateside ballots begin mailing October 11 and ballots cannot be forwarded by the postal service. However, Boulder County Elections can mail your ballot to an alternative address. Simply update your voter registration with an alternative mailing address. When you access your voter registration, the first address is your residential address (your legal residence). If you don’t want your ballot mailed there, simply add a mailing address below this option. 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 asking if you are a uniformed service member or overseas civilian voter. Select the option labeled “An overseas 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 September 20 and continue to be mailed as registration changes are received.
