All active, registered Colorado voters are being mailed a ballot for the November 2020 Election. You can decide to vote in person instead of (not in addition to) voting by mail, but as it will be convenient to vote by mail, you should strongly consider doing so.
To avoid possible postal delays impacting your vote, we recommend mailing your completed ballot back by Tuesday, October 13th. Plan to drop it off by hand after that.
If you are concerned about your absentee ballot returning on time through the mail, visit our other page to learn how to drop your ballot off in person.
