A lot has changed in Colorado since the last presidential election. Here’s what you need to know to be ready for November.
2016 Election Dates
October 17: Ballots are mailed to voters
October 24: Voter Service Centers open (to vote in person)
October 31: Last day to register and still receive a ballot in the mail (or vote in person)
November 8: Election Day. Last day to vote or drop off ballot (but do it early!)
• Check your voter registration as all active voters get a ballot in the mail!
• Make sure it is current. This is especially important if you have moved in the last year or if you haven’t voted for a few years. Check online at www.BoulderCountyVotes.org.
• Track your mail ballot. Visit www.BoulderCountyVotes.org to sign up for Ballot Track to receive messages by email, text, or phone when your mail ballot has been printed, mailed, and received back by Boulder County Elections during election periods.
• In person voting is available. If you prefer to vote in person, a list of Voter Service and Polling Centers is included in the mail ballot packet.
• Vote early! Once you decide how to vote, return your mail ballot. Voting early helps reduce campaign phone calls for you and helps the county by being able to process ballots throughout the election period, not just on one night – no votes are tabulated before election night though!
Returning your ballot early has never been easier since there are now 12 secure, videotaped 24-hour mail ballot drop boxes in Boulder County.
