How do I submit my audio recording?
Our office has set up a voicemail box specifically for this purpose.
- Dial 303-894-2200
- Dial extension 6314
- After the voice prompt clearly state your:
- Name (Must be exactly as provided on your candidate acceptance or judicial intent form, as this is how your name will be printed on the ballot)
- Office and jurisdiction (e.g.,: President or State House District 5 or 17th District Judge)
- Party Affiliation (Not required for nonpartisan offices such as RTD or judgeships)
- Press “#” when your message is complete
