1. How do I find my polling place?

Go to www.GoVoteColorado.com to find early voting locations as well as Election Day voting sites. You can also check your registration status and track your mail ballot.

 

2. Why haven’t I gotten my mail ballot yet? How do I get a mail ballot?

Go to www.GoVoteColorado.com to check your status. Log in to your voter record, which will show whether you have requested a mail ballot and if a mail ballot has been sent to you.

Some voters may think that they are on the permanent mail-ballot list because they received a mail ballot in recent all-mail-ballot elections. Receiving a mail ballot for those elections does not mean that you will automatically receive a mail ballot for this election. If you have not requested a mail ballot for this election, or you are not on the permanent mail-ballot list, you can request a mail ballot online at GoVoteColorado.com.

If you have more questions about the status of your mail ballot, please contact your county clerk and recorder.

 

3. If I don’t vote on a candidate or question, will my other votes still be counted?

Yes. You are not required to cast a vote in every race or on every question. If you choose to leave a race or a question blank, the rest of the votes on your ballot will still be counted.

 

4. Will my mail ballot be counted? I heard that mail ballots might not be counted for this election.

Every valid mail ballot will be counted in this election. Be sure to sign the envelope when you return your mail ballot.

If you recently registered for the first time, you will need to provide a copy of your ID along with your mail ballot. Your county clerk will have provided instructions about the ID requirement along with your mail ballot.

Also, be sure that your county clerk receives your ballot no later than 7:00 PM on Election Day. If you are not sure if your ballot will arrive in time, drop it off in person. Contact your county clerk and recorder for drop-off locations. 

 

5. What are the rules about campaigning in or near polling places?

State law prohibits electioneering within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling place. This means that anyone who is advocating for the election or defeat of a candidate or a ballot issue must be at least 100 feet away from the entrance to the polling place.

 

6. What kinds of ID can I use to vote?

See the list of acceptable forms of ID.

 

7. If I didn’t vote in 2012, am I still registered to vote?

Yes. If you did not vote in 2012, you are still registered and eligible to vote. If you did not respond to mailings from your county clerk and recorder, you will not automatically receive a mail ballot for this election, even if you had signed up for the permanent mail ballot list previously. You can either show up to vote in person at the polls during early voting or on Election Day, or you can request a mail ballot from your county clerk.
