Ballots to arrive in homes week of October 12
Boulder County, Colo. -- The
Boulder County Elections Division wants to remind voters that the Coordinated
Election is less than a month away. Elections
in Colorado are conducted by mail with Voter Service and Polling Centers
available for those who would like additional assistance with voting or who prefer
to vote in person. All active registered voters will be automatically mailed a ballot to the
address on their voter registration record the week of October 12.
The mailed ballot packets include a
detailed list of ballot drop-off
points and Voter Service and Polling Centers that will be open to the public
prior to Election Day on Tuesday, November 3. Additionally, voters are
encouraged to return their ballot as soon as they have voted.
Boulder County will have four Voter
Service and Polling Centers open this Coordinated Election to service residents.
For the public’s convenience, Boulder County Elections has also added three additional
24-hour ballot drop boxes (locations listed on the voter instructions and online
at bouldercounty.gov/elections) that open October 13.
The Boulder County Elections Division encourages all
voters to register or check their registration to ensure that their mailing
address is correct. If you moved recently or provided an alternative address
during a past election (due to travel or other circumstances for absentee
voting), our office may not have your most current address and ballots are not forwarded
by the postal service. Voters can register or check their registration details
at bouldercounty.gov/elections.
While eligible voters may register up to and
including Election Day (22-day residency required), the Elections Division
encourages everyone to register early in order to ensure that they receive
their mail ballot in a timely fashion. Voters who register or change their
registration after October 26 must request a ballot in person at a Voter
Service and Polling Center.
