Voter registration

What are the requirements to register to vote?

To be eligible to register to vote, an applicant must:

Be a U.S. Citizen (at the time of completing the application);

Be 16 years old;

Be a Colorado resident for at least 22 days immediately before an election at which he/she intends to vote; and

Complete the fields marked "required" on the application, including the complete address with apartment and unit number (if applicable).

Can a VRD circulator fill out the voter registration form for an applicant?

The VRD circulator must be familiar with the Colorado VRD application and able to respond to questions regarding the required and optional portions of the form; however, the circulator should not complete any portion of the form on the voter’s behalf, unless the applicant requests assistance.

To ensure that a voter is properly registered, it is important that the application is filled out as completely and accurately as possible.

The circulator must provide the applicant a blue or black ink pen to complete the application and must not highlight or otherwise mark the form, except for when filling in his or her own circulator identification number.
