DENVER — Voter service and polling centers are set to open up starting Monday morning.
These centers are really designed to be a one-stop shop for voters whether you need help registering, replacing a ballot or voting in a person.
If you're voting in person, you'll need to bring a valid ID. If you're using the ballot you got in the mail, you can use the 24-hour drop boxes through Election Day.
“The most popular way to vote is through one of our drop boxes,” Denver Clerk and Recorder Paul Lopez said.
The ballot boxes are monitored 24/7 every single day.
“They are emptied out by bipartisan teams of Democrats and Republicans working together, putting country before party, unaffiliated voters working together with us,” Lopez said.
To make it even easier, Lopez said you can even drop your ballot off in another counties’ ballot box.
“You can take a Denver ballot and put it in a Jefferson County box, as long as it's there before 7 p.m. it gets to where it needs to be. All of us counties work together to make sure that's the case,” Lopez said.
Unaffiliated voters are the largest part of the voting block in Denver, Lopez said. If you are unaffiliated, you will be receiving two ballots in the mail.
“One that's a Republican and has a red stripe, and the other one is the Democratic ballot that has a blue stripe. It's important that those unaffiliated voters only fill out one or the other, not both. The last Primary Election that we had, 612 people turned in both, and we had to cancel that one out,” Lopez said.
Here are some important dates to keep in mind:
- June 15: Voter Service & Polling Centers open
- June 22: Last day to mail your ballot back & last day to request a replacement ballot
- June 30: Election Day - You have until 7 p.m. to vote in person or put your ballot in a drop box
The Voter Service and Polling Center at the Central Library is set to open on Monday at 8 a.m. Other centers will open up on a phased approach leading up to election day.
