Election Day, Nov. 6, is less than one month away. In Jefferson County, voters have a few options on how to register and vote.

Here’s how:

Register

The first step to voting is to make sure you’re registered and that your registration is up-to-date with your current address. This can be checked and updated online on the Colorado Secretary of State’s website.

New voters with a Colorado driver’s license or ID card may register online. Those who don’t have a driver’s license or Colorado ID, or for those who prefer to fill out a paper form, a printable version can be found on the Colorado Secretary of State’s website.

Once the form is completed and signed, it needs to be submitted to the Jefferson County’s Clerk and Recorder. Voter registrations are also accepted at driver’s license offices in Jeffco and the Jefferson County Elections Division.

Or, it can be mailed to Colorado Department of State Elections Division, 1700 Broadway, Suite 200, Denver, CO 80290.

Vote

There are a couple of ways that Jeffco residents can cast their vote this election — by mail, drop off or in-person.

Those who are up-to-date with their registration will receive a ballot in the mail. Some may arrive as early as Oct. 15.

The most important thing to remember is to get your ballot turned in on time. All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 6.

Mail — Make sure to include adequate first-class postage and remember that postmarked ballots will not be counted.

Drop off — There are a number of drop off locations throughout Jefferson County. Other than the Jeffco Courts & Admin Building, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, these include city halls in Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge and Edgewater. Some public places such as libraries, Department of Motor Vehicle locations and rec centers also have drop off boxes. Find a complete list and an interactive map at www.votejeffco.com.

In person — There are many Voter Service & Polling Centers located throughout the county. They can also be found on the above-mentioned website.

The thing to note with voting in-person, prior to Election Day, are the hours of operation. The Voter Service & Polling Centers are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, Oct. 22 to Nov. 5. On Oct. 27 and Nov. 3, both are Saturdays, the hours are 8 a.m. to noon.
