news and to access the voter registration form. You must register no later
than 29 days before the election and be 18 years old on or before the date of
the election in which you want to vote. If you are not certain if you are
registered to vote, you can verify your voter registration and ballot status at

you currently reside in Broomfield county, information on where to mail your
state voter registration form is available at

in a county other than Boulder County, you can access the state voter
registration form at http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/main.htm .
If you are NOT a Colorado resident and wish to register in your state of
residence, you can access the national voter registration form at
http://www.fabnit.com/nvra-update-09-12-06.pdf. Please note the following
exceptions:
- New Hampshire town and city clerks will accept this application only as a
request for their own mail-in absentee voter registration form.
- North Dakota does not have voter registration.

Acrobat Reader, which you can download for free from the above indicated web
sites.

it out, complete it, and mail it to the address indicated on the form or

has regarding accepting voter registration. The only state that doesn't accept
