Voters who have already requested a mail-in ballot can expect to receive their ballots in the mail during the week of October 8.
In early September, the Elections Division sent over 23,000 mail-in ballot can expect to receive their ballots in the mail the week of October 8.
By Tuesday, Sept. 25, over a quarter of those voters, 5,889, had completed and returned the forms to the Elections Division.
This year is the first time Colorado voters have the opportunity to request that a mail-in ballot be sent to them for all future elections. By checking the appropriate box on the mail-in ballot request form, voters can avoid having to submit a request each year. To date, approximately 98 percent of the Broomfield voters who returned their mail-in ballot requests have taken advantage of this “permanent mail-in status.”
