Denver, CO — In-person voting is available statewide, with 384 voter centers open across the state for eligible voters.

"With more than 800 locations for voters to cast their ballot this year, voters can make their voice heard at a time and location convenient to them," said Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “Colorado runs the most voter-friendly and secure elections in the nation.”

This year, 384 voter centers and 452 drop boxes are available for voters. Voters can look up their locations and hours at GoVoteColorado.gov.

Eligible Coloradans can still register to vote and update their voter registration at GoVoteColorado.gov through October 26 to be mailed a ballot. After that, voters can register to vote and vote in person until 7:00 PM on Election Day.

Voters who plan to return their ballot by mail using the U.S. Postal Service should do so by October 26 to ensure their county clerk receives it by 7:00 PM on November 3. Beginning October 27, voters should only return their ballot to a drop box or voter center, or vote in-person.
