How To Vote: Step-by-step
- Register to Vote
Every voter in Colorado receives a ballot by mail. Your ballot will arrive in the mail with the mailing address that you provided when you registered. If you are unsure if you are already registered, check here. If you want to receive your ballot by mail, you must update your registration at least eight days before an election. - Research your candidates and ballot measures
Utilize this election guide and other reputable sources to understand your choices. The Colorado "Blue Book" and local ballot issue notices (also called TABOR notices, referencing the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) can provide additional information on many ballot measures. - Find your polling location
Polling locations are listed below - Make sure you have the proper identification
All voters who vote in-person must provide identification. While there are many forms of acceptable identification, most voters find it convenient to bring their Colorado driver's license or Colorado ID. A Colorado ID is available at no cost to those who are eligible. - Cast your ballot
Mail-in ballots must be received by the county clerk and recorder no later than 7:00 PM on Election Day, November 5. If you want to vote in-person, you may return your mail ballot and vote in-person at a voter service and polling center. Even if you do not return your mail ballot you may still vote in person.
