Q1. What is TXT2Cure?
A1. The Secretary of State provides the TXT2Cure system so that Colorado voters can use their mobile phones to submit the additional information necessary to resolve problems with (or “cure”) their mail ballots and ensure they are counted.
Q2. Who can use the TXT2Cure system?
A2. Voters whose mail ballots are rejected due to a missing or discrepant signature, or failure to enclose a photocopy of an acceptable form of ID with their ballot, if required, may use TXT2Cure to resolve those issues and ensure their ballots are counted.
Q3. What information do I need to use TXT2Cure?
A3. To use the TXT2Cure system, voters will need their Voter ID number (VID) and an acceptable form of identification. That information is contained in the letter that qualifying voters will receive from their clerk and recorder.
Q4. Can I use the TXT2Cure system before I receive the ballot rejection letter from my clerk and recorder?
A4. Yes. You can obtain your Voter ID number by logging into Colorado’s online voter registration system at GoVoteColorado.gov, and go here for a complete list of acceptable forms of identification.
Q5. How do I access the TXT2Cure system?
