    Yes! Actually, in Colorado, as soon as you're registered, Colorado sends you a ballot automatically. All you have to do is mail it back by November 3rd.

  • Can I vote early?

    Yes! June 20th-June 27th.

  • Do I need an ID?

    Only if you choose to vote in person. If you decide to do that, you'll need one of the following: a Colorado driver's license or ID, a U.S. Passport, a Medicare or Medicaid card, a birth certificate or naturalization document, a tribal certificate, or a few other options.

what's new in colorado voting since 2020

Great news, Colorado! You were already a model for modern and professional election administration, and things got even better in 2021. New laws provide for increased language accessibility in counties where significant numbers of voters primarily speak a language other than English, enable voters with certain disabilities related to vision to return ballots electronically, and facilitates voting for incarcerated people. Nice!
