Tuesday is Election Day in Colorado, as voters weigh in on a property tax relief measure backed by Gov. Jared Polis and whether to use excess tobacco tax money to help fund preschools.
Besides the state’s propositions HH and II, many cities and towns are holding elections in municipal races, and some school board seats also are on the ballot. Voting centers are open for in-person voting statewide from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you’re in line to vote by 7 p.m., you’ll be able to cast your ballot. If you’re still holding onto a mail ballot, it must be dropped off at a box or voting center by 7 p.m.
You can find the nearest secure 24-hour dropbox on the state’s website.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office will begin posting results for statewide and local races from the election at 7 p.m. The Denver Post will have updates on early results at denverpost.com right after those returns begin dropping, and we’ll keep you updated as the night goes on.
If you live in Denver, you can find your nearest polling place on the city’s website. For the rest of the state, information on polling places, county clerks, voter registration status and other election questions is available on the Colorado Secretary of State’s website. You can also contact your county clerk for questions about how or where to vote.
As of early afternoon Monday, ballot returns stood at 830,599, or 21.1% of active registered voters.
