Douglas County voters — watch for your Presidential Primary Election ballot in your mailbox. Ballots are being mailed to eligible Douglas County registered voters starting today, Monday, Feb. 12.
Track your mail ballot. From mailed to accepted, check the status of your mail ballot by signing up for phone, text, or email notifications from BallotTrax. If you are a registered voter and have not received your ballot at the address associated with your voter registration by Feb. 21, you may obtain a replacement ballot by contacting Douglas County Elections at 303-660-7444, or by visiting a Voter Service and Polling Center (VSPC) for assistance beginning Feb. 26.
What’s on the ballot? There is only one contest on the ballot – President of the United States. Registered Democrats will receive the Democratic Presidential Primary ballot. Registered Republicans will receive the Republican Presidential Primary ballot. Unaffiliated voters will receive both.
Instructions for unaffiliated voters. Unaffiliated voters will receive two ballots, one Democratic and one Republican. Unaffiliated electors must vote and return ONLY ONE ballot and securely dispose of the ballot they do not use. If multiple voted ballots are returned in the same envelope, none of the ballots will count. Voting a party primary ballot does not affiliate the voter with that party; they will remain registered as unaffiliated. Visit the Douglas County ballot information page to review both the Democratic and Republican sample ballots.
Not registered to vote but want to be? Colorado election law allows voter registration up to and on Election Day. If you live in Douglas County, plan to vote in the Presidential Primary Election, and are not registered to vote, do so at DouglasVotes.com through Feb. 26 — after that time you will need to visit a VSPC.
Locate your closest ballot drop box. Did you know that more than 90% of Douglas County voters prefer to deliver their ballots for free using one of the 21 convenient ballot drop box locations countywide? Safe, secure ballot drop boxes are open now through 7 p.m. on Election Day, March 5, 2024.
When is the last possible day to vote? No matter how you deliver it, your ballot must be received by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, 2024 — an Election Day postmark does not count.
