Voters across Colorado will soon decide who will represent their interests in local, statewide and federal elections after county clerks began sending out ballots Friday for the Nov. 5 election. They will also vote on 14 statewide ballot measures and any local ballot questions. 

Until Oct. 28, Coloradans can still register to vote at GoVoteColorado.gov to receive a ballot in the mail, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. After that, Coloradans can register to vote and vote in person at a voting center until 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Voters can track their ballot from when it was sent to them to when it is counted by visiting BallotTrax.ColoradoSOS.gov



Colorado has automatic voter registration when getting a driver’s license. Residents can also register online with a valid driver’s license, Colorado identification card or Social Security number. 

A nonpartisan analysis of the ballot measures on the upcoming ballot, also called the “blue book” was mailed out to voters and is available online.



Other important dates:

  • Voters who wish to mail their ballots in must do so by Oct. 28, after that, ballots should be dropped off in ballot boxes or voting centers in their county.
  • County clerks are required to mail the ballots by Oct. 18.
