Description

DENVER, CO — There's still time for Denver voters to cast their ballots for Tuesday's coordinated election. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Colorado doesn't have a registration deadline, so voters can both register and vote on Election Day. If you are voting in person, you must be in the line before 7 p.m., officials said. It's too late to return your ballot by mail, but you can return it through ballot drop boxes and in-person vote centers. There are 41 ballot drop boxes across Denver, and they are secured by 24/7 video surveillance. "Engaging in democracy and casting your ballot in every election ensures your voice is heard and prevents a small group of voters from determining the direction of our city," Mayor Michael Hancock said in a statement. "We have some very critical initiatives on the ballot. So it's important that we all lean in and have our voices heard."
