You can check and update your registration at www.govotecolorado.gov.
If you’ve recently moved, please take a few minutes to update your address so that your ballot reaches you on time.
For those voting by mail, make sure to put your completed ballot in the mailbox, with the appropriate postage. One first-class stamp is enough for a one-page ballot, but you’ll need two stamps for a two-page ballot.
To ensure your vote is counted, you can either mail your ballot with postage or drop it off at a nearby dropbox. Find a dropbox location on your county clerk’s website.
Remember, your completed ballot must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day. (Postmarks don’t count, so if it’s getting close to the deadline, consider using a 24-hour dropbox.)
Every Coloradan can easily participate in the voting process. Here’s what you need to know:
1. In-Person Voting and Registration: You can visit any Voter Service Center (VSPC) in your county. These centers allow you to vote, get a replacement ballot, register to vote, or address any election-related concerns. Remember to bring your identification.
2. Find Your VSPC: Visit your county clerk’s website to locate a nearby VSPC.
3. Ballot Pickup: Some counties allow you to call ahead and pick up a ballot if your voting information changes or if you need a replacement. Check your County Clerk’s website for details.
4. No Registration Deadline: In Colorado, there’s no registration deadline. You can register and vote at any Vote Center leading up to and on Election Day.
5. Ballot Return: Locate a dropbox or Voter Service and Polling Center (VSPC) near you on your county clerk’s website.
6. Submission Deadline: Your ballot must be received by 7 PM on Election Day! Postmarks won’t be considered.
7. Track Your Ballot: Stay informed about your ballot’s status by signing up for email or text notifications at colorado.ballottrax.net/voter.
Felony Incarceration and Voting:
In Colorado, if you’re incarcerated for a felony conviction, it’s against the law to register to vote or cast a vote.
Voting on Parole for Felony Convictions: Yes, if you’re on parole for a felony conviction, you can vote. Being on parole means you’ve completed your full imprisonment term, according to the state constitution.
Voting Rights for Misdemeanor Convictions and Jail Time: Whether you’re in jail awaiting trial or serving time for a misdemeanor conviction, you have the right to register to vote and participate in any election. You can contact your jail administrator for assistance with voter registration.
Voting While on Bond with Pending Criminal Cases: Yes, you can vote while on bond, as long as you haven’t been convicted and are not serving a felony sentence during the election.
Voting Rights During Probation: Absolutely, individuals on probation can register and vote in any election.
Voting After Serving a Criminal Sentence: In Colorado, your right to vote is restored once you’ve completed your sentence. This eligibility is reinstated on the day you’re released from detention or incarceration.
Notification of Voting Eligibility: While you won’t receive an official letter, your initial meeting with the division of adult parole should provide you with essential voter information, including your rights and how to register.
Proof of Sentence Completion for Voting: If you submit a voter registration application while still listed as incarcerated, the county elections official may request proof of sentence completion. Please be aware that it may take some time for your name to be removed from the database.
Voting After Out-of-State Convictions: Voting rights depend on the state you reside in. If you’re a Colorado resident and have completed your sentence, you can vote here.
Voting in Federal Elections with Federal Convictions: It doesn’t matter if your conviction was in state or federal court. Once eligible to vote in Colorado, you can participate in both state and federal elections.
Restitution and Voting Eligibility: You do not have to pay off all your restitution to be eligible to vote.
Re-registering After Incarceration: If you were registered to vote before felony incarceration, your registration would have been canceled. You must re-register, and online registration is available if you have a Colorado State driver’s license or ID card.
