While Election Day for the 2024 general election is set for November 5th, Colorado voters will receive their ballots nearly a month in advance. The state’s mail-in voting system ensures that every registered voter will have a ballot sent to them by their county clerk.

County clerks will begin mailing ballots on Friday, October 11th, and all ballots must be sent out by October 18th. Voters must return their completed ballots to the county clerk’s office by 7 PM on November 5th. Additionally, Colorado allows for same-day voter registration, so eligible voters can register and cast their ballots in person until the 7 PM deadline on Election Day.

For those voting by mail, it’s important to send your ballot early to avoid any delays and ensure it is received on time.
