- Have resided in Colorado 22 days prior to the election.
- Have an acceptable form of ID.
You can confirm your registration status at www.GoVoteColorado.gov.
If you just registered and want to pick up a ballot, or need a replacement ballot, you can use Boulder County's "Ballot-to-Go" service, available starting Oct. 30 through 5 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 7. You can also register at an in-person Vote Center.
Ways to Vote
There are several ways you can vote.
Complete and Mail Your Ballot
All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day (Nov. 7). We recommend mailing your ballot by Oct. 30 to make this deadline.
