You have a role, too
Voters are part of election integrity
State and county election officials build and operate the safeguards. Voters help those safeguards work by keeping their information current, following their ballot, planning ahead and contacting their county clerk when something does not look right.
Track your ballot
Use Colorado BallotTrax to follow your ballot and receive status notifications. Sign up or check your status.
Make a plan to vote
Decide whether you will use a drop box, return your ballot by mail or vote in person. Your ballot must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Find voting locations and options.
Let your county know about a ballot that is not yours
If you receive a ballot for someone who no longer lives at your address, do not open it. Contact your county clerk so the voter record can be reviewed. Find your county clerk.
Get involved in elections
Elections run because community members serve as election judges and in other paid or volunteer roles. You will learn how elections work by taking part. Ask your county clerk about opportunities.
Make your county clerk your trusted source
Your county clerk is the local expert on the processes, systems and equipment used in your county. When you have a question or hear a claim, go directly to your clerk.
