Voting centers in Colorado are now open for people who want to vote early in person for next week’s primary election.
There are 155 voting centers across the state, including many libraries, recreation centers and county government buildings. Voters can find the location closest to them on the secretary of state’s website.
Coloradans can also register to vote at a voting center up until 7pm on Election Day.
Election Day is June 25 and voters will find races for congressional districts, the state Board of Education, the statehouse and other local races on their ballots. Registered Democrats can vote in the Democratic primary, registered Republicans can vote in the Republican primary and unaffiliated voters can vote in either, but not both, primary. Primary winners advance to the general election in November.
Colorado voters typically vote by mail. In the 2022 midterms, for example, about 4.7% of ballots were cast in person, according to data from the secretary of state’s office. It’s now too late, however, to safely mail a ballot and ensure it arrives by June 25.
Starting today, Tuesday, June 18, voters should drop their ballots in the County election drop box, or vote in person.
Colorado Newsline has candidate questionnaire responses for state Senate races, Democratic state House races and Republican state House races.
