General Election: November 3, 2026

How to register to vote 

In Colorado, residents can register to vote up until polls close on Election Day.

To receive a ballot in the mail, Coloradans must have registered by June 22. After this date, individuals can still register, but will have to vote at an in-person voting center. 

Individuals with a valid Colorado driver’s license or state issued ID can register to vote, or check their voter registration status, online at GoVoteColorado.gov. Voters can also update their mailing address and voter details on this website. 

How to cast a ballot 

Ballots will be mailed to registered voters starting on Friday, Oct. 2.

Voters have until Monday, Oct. 26, to mail in their ballot. Any ballots completed after that date must be submitted in person to a drop box or county clerk office. Mail-in ballots can be returned in person up until 7 p.m. on Election Night.  

The primary election will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with polls open for in-person voting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
