Reminder: Today is the Last Day to Register to Vote in the November Election

Although Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler might just be doing everything in his power to make sure you can’t use his office’s online portal to register to vote in this year’s election, if you live in Jefferson County, there’s still hope!

From the Jefferson County Clerk’s office:

The deadline to register to vote in the 2012 Presidential Election is Tuesday, October 9, 2012.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 6, 2012.

Voters in Jefferson County will have a choice of casting a ballot by mail, during early voting, October 22 through November 2, or on Election Day at their precinct polling place.  Voters registering after October, will be registered to vote, but will not be eligible to vote in the Presidential Election.

Voters can register to vote or update their voter registration information by visiting any of the County Clerk’s branch locations or by visiting GoVoteColorado.com.

“We are encouraging everybody who wants to vote in this election to make sure their registration information is up to date so they are eligible to vote in November,” said Pam Anderson, Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder.

If you’re able, registering at the County Clerk’s office or any of the six satellite locations is still your best option. If you’re not, however, and if you can’t log on to Gessler’s GoVoteColorado.com, you can alternatively fill out and sign an online form and e-mail it to elections@votejeffco.us. So long as that form is returned to the clerk’s office by 11:59 PM tonight, you should be able to cast a ballot this year.

More information is available at the Jefferson County Elections Division.
