County Clerks Mailing Ballots for the November 7th Coordinated Election

Denver, October 18, 2023 - Colorado County Clerks are mailing ballots to active registered voters for the November 7th Coordinated Election.

“Colorado voters should be on the lookout for their 2023 Coordinated Election Ballot,” said Secretary Griswold. “I encourage every eligible Coloradan who has not yet registered to vote do so. There is still time!”

County Clerks must mail ballots by Friday, October 20 to active registered voters for the Coordinated Election.

Eligible Coloradans can still register to vote and update their voter registration at GoVoteColorado.gov through October 30 in order to receive a ballot in the mail. After October 30, Coloradans can still register to vote, receive a ballot, and vote in-person at a voting center until 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Important information for Colorado voters:

• Coloradans should always use trusted sources when searching for information on elections. Information from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office is distributed via ColoradoSOS.gov or www.GoVoteColorado.gov. Websites ending in “.gov” are government websites.
