In 2024, Colorado voters reported broad satisfaction with the election system
A 2024 statewide exit poll found broad satisfaction with Colorado's mailed-ballot, drop-box, and vote-center system. It also found that nearly three in four voters gave the election officials where they live an A or B. Review the poll findings.
Source: Colorado Polling Institute survey of 822 likely Colorado voters, conducted October 25–November 4, 2024. These findings measure satisfaction with voting options and ratings of local administration, rather than confidence in election accuracy or trust in individual officials.
