FREMONT COUNTY — News5 is helping you prepare for Election 2020 with guides to find out what's on the ballot, what it means to you, and where to deliver your ballot across the region. Colorado has used a mail-in ballot system for years that's been touted as one of the safest methods.
Ballots for this year's general election are mailed out on October 9 by local clerk and recorder offices. We'll soon see a record number of ballot drop boxes across the state as local officials go the extra mile to guarantee every registered voter can take part.
If you have not registered to vote yet in Colorado, the deadline is October 26 if you want to receive a ballot by mail. You'll still be able to register to vote and cast your ballot in person at a Voter Polling and Service Center up to 7pm on the election day, Tuesday, November 3.
Not sure if you are registered to vote in Colorado? Use the state's Find My Voter Registration system.
