General Election: Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020

In the state of Colorado you are able to register to vote and vote in-person at a designated polling location all the way until – and on – any Election Day. If you do vote in-person on an election day at a polling location you are still allowed to vote if you are in line by the time the location closes. To vote by mail you will need to register with the local Clerks and Recorder’s Office at least 8 days before any given election! (This year that means: Monday, October 26th for the General Election.)
