New Ballot Return Numbers and a Return Reminder

UPDATE: For a little more perspective:

We’re running a total of about 46k ballots short of where we were now in 2018 which can be attributed to many factors (longer ballot, different counties at different speeds, etc.) but what’s striking is how far behind Rs are relative to Ds and how far ahead Us are #copolitics pic.twitter.com/PE7ZrXvIW4

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office released the latest ballot return numbers in Colorado with one week to go into Election Day.

At the end of the day on Monday, 742,935 ballots had been returned in Colorado. Registered Unaffiliated and Democratic voters both continue to outpace registered Republicans in ballot returns.

If you have not yet returned your ballot, DO NOT PUT IT IN THE MAIL AFTER TODAY. Remember, ballots must be RECEIVED by your local clerk and recorder by 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 8 in order to be counted. It does not matter if your ballot was postmarked before Election Day if it does not arrive before 7:00 pm on Tuesday.

Experts recommend taking ballots to a drop box from this point forward just to be safe. For information on where to take your completed ballot, go to GoVoteColorado.gov.
