Election Day has finally arrived in Colorado and across the country, and gone is the opportunity to cast a ballot by mail.
Registered voters may cast a ballot until 7 p.m. today via a county voting center or by drop box. Polls close at 7 p.m.
“Today is Election Day, and every eligible Coloradan should have their voice heard,” said Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “No matter your age, skin color, or ZIP code, every voter has a say in our democracy.”
More detail on where to cast a ballot and other instructional material is available at GoVoteColorado.gov or through a voter’s county clerk’s website.
Election Night reporting of results will be available sometime after 7 p.m. on the live Secretary of State’s elections page. Typically, results are reported in batches, with the first batches arriving at 7:45 p.m. or later.
