Governor Polis Reminds Colorado Voters to Cast Ballots by 7 p.m. on Election Day
Colorado Governor Jared Polis reminded residents November 4 to vote in this year's election before polls close at 7 p.m., emphasizing the state's secure voting systems and multiple options for casting ballots.
Voters who have not yet returned their ballots must use drop boxes or in-person polling places, as the deadline has passed for mailing ballots. All voters in line by 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast their ballots.
"Colorado's secure and safe elections are a national gold standard, so Coloradans, whether voting by mail or in-person, can rest assured that our votes and voices are heard," Polis said in a statement from the governor's office.
Coloradans can find the nearest polling place or drop box by visiting GoVoteColorado.gov.
