Ballot Processing
Once election judges pick up ballots at the drop boxes or at the post office, the ballots are brought back to the Clerk's Office. The bar codes on the envelopes are scanned into the state voter registration system so that voters can see that their ballot has been "received" on the website (www.govotecolorado.com). Next, the unopened ballot goes to a team of judges (one Republican and one Democrat) for signature verification.

Mail Ballots
In 2013 Colorado became an all mail ballot state due to the passage of House Bill 1303. For the 2018 General Election all active registered voters were sent a ballot in the mail to the mailing address on record in the state voter registration system. The ballots were mailed on October 15, 2018.
You may cast your ballot by mail, drop it off at the Grand County Administration Building's 24 hour drop box or at any other drop off location. If you plan to mail your ballot back to us, the United States Post Office recommends that you mail it early. During the Primary Election we saw delivery times of up to 12 days for a ballot to get from voter to the county. The ballot must be received in the Clerk and Recorder's Office by 7:00 p.m. on November 6, 2018 in order to be counted. Postmarks do not count.
Be sure to sign the affidavit on your ballot envelope.
A voter can go to www.GoVoteColorado.com to see if we have received his or her ballot.
If we have not received a voter’s ballot, the voter can come to the County Administration Building and vote in person. If a voter decides to do that and we get his or her ballot in the mail, we will void the ballot received in the mail.
If you prefer to cast your ballot in person, simply visit our Voter Service and Polling Center where your mail ballot will be voided so that you can vote in person.
