Voting in Colorado
The Basics
Voting and Ballot Information
- Ballots will be mailed beginning on Oct. 9. You can vote immediately once you receive your ballot.
- If you prefer to vote in person, Vote Centers (including on-campus at the University Memorial Center) will open on Oct. 19.
-
Oct. 26 is the last day to register and still be mailed a ballot. It's also the last day to request that a replacement ballot. If your ballot is damaged, stained or if you made a mistake, you may
request a replacement from your county clerk.
- There are 24-hour ballot drop boxes and USPS post boxes to return your ballot in every county. If voting with a Colorado mail ballot on campus, simply drop it off at the 24-hour drop box at the University Memorial Center (outside near Euclid Avenue) or at Williams Village near the bus stop at 500 30th Street.
- These boxes may be used by Colorado voters only.
- Out-of-county ballots will be rerouted to the correct county.
Don’t be disqualified!
- Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. MT on Nov. 3, 2020 to be counted
- Make sure to sign the back of the envelope
- Use ink and only fill in the bubble that you want to select (like a multiple choice test!)
- Read the instructions that came with your ballot carefully to avoid common errors that can disqualify your vote, such as leaving stray marks, not completely filling in the bubble, forgetting to sign the back of your ballot or enclosing it in the incorrect envelope
