Elections Office to mail voter information
Registered voters in Broomfield will soon be receiving a notice in the mail providing information for the 2006 election cycle and an absentee ballot application. The Broomfield Elections Office is mailing more than 26,000 of the notices this week and they should be arriving in mailboxes starting Saturday, June 24.
If you do not receive a notice and feel you should have, call 303-464-5857 for assistance.
The notice informs voters of Broomfield’s switch from traditional precinct polling places to vote centers and lists the locations of the seven vote centers to be used this year. Vote centers offer voters the option of choosing any one of the seven sites rather than being assigned a single polling location.
The sites are:
- Broomfield Senior Center, 280 Lamar Street
- The Chateaux at Fox Meadows. 13600 Xavier Lane
- Church of the Holy Comforter, 1700 West 10th Ave.
- Cross of Christ Lutheran Church, 12099 Lowell Blvd.
- Flatiron Crossing Mall – Community Room, One West Flatiron Circle, Suite 1083
- Front Range Mobile Home – Club House,
2885 East Midway Blvd. - Risen Savior Lutheran Church, 3031 West 144th Ave.
Voters may choose to complete and return the absentee ballot application. With this single form, a ballot for the August 8 Primary and November 7 General Election may be requested to be mailed to the voter.
The Elections Office will begin mailing Primary absentee ballots by the second week of July, and ballots for the General Election will begin arriving by mid-October.
Many Broomfield voters have shown a preference for voting by mail. In the last two elections in Broomfield, over 40 percent of the ballots cast were through the mail. Colorado law does not require a voter to provide a reason for voting absentee. It may simply be a voter’s preference to vote by mail.
The notice also provides the dates, times, and location for early voting for the Primary Election. Early voting will be Saturday, July 29, and from Monday, Aug. 1 to Friday, Aug. 4, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the main lobby of the Broomfield City and County Building, One DesCombes Drive.
