By-Mail (Absentee) Voting

Colorado is a vote-by-mail state. All registered voters receive a ballot in the mail (you may still vote on Election Day if you surrender your mailed ballot). Completed ballots must be received by your county clerk and recorder by 7 PM on Election Day. You may also drop-off your ballot at designated drop-off sites. If you are voting-by-mail for the first time, you must include a copy of a valid ID with your completed ballot.

Contact your county clerk for more information
