Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams and county election officials say that after Monday, voters should drop off their ballots in 24-hour boxes or at voting centers instead of slipping them into the mail.
The draws the mail-ballot line eight days out from the Nov. 6 election to ensure they are delivered by the time polls close at 7 p.m. Election Day. A ballot envelope’s postmark doesn’t matter — it must be in the hands of the county election office by then to be counted.
Oct. 29 also is the deadline for a voter to request a ballot by mail.
“I have worked very hard to provide funding for our county clerks to set up 24-hour drop boxes so voters can drop off their ballots any time of the day or night,” Williams said in a news release. “In Colorado, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to vote.”
Counties also will accept ballots every day except Sunday at Voter Service and Polling Centers. Colorado has same-day voter registration, but starting Tuesday, those who want to register and vote must do so in person at a voting center.
