Chaffee County Clerk Lori Mitchell is reporting that as of November 1st, 4,796 ballots had been returned to the clerk’s office. 

Of those, 41% have been from Unaffiliated voters, 31% from Democrats and 27% from Republican voters.    

It is too late to mail your ballot. Voters can visit a vote center or come to the election office to get a ballot or drop off a ballot.   

The Salida vote center is open at the Scout Hut 8 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday and 8 am to noon on Saturday. The Buena Vista vote center at the Community Center will open Friday. The vote center in Poncha Springs will be open on Election Day.      

Colorado voters can visit GoVoteColorado.gov to register to vote or update their voter registration, find their local county clerk, sign up to track their ballot and find accurate election information.
