Ballot Return Numbers are Down from 2021

Remember, folks: Tomorrow is Election Day in Colorado. If you still have a ballot at home, DO NOT put it in the mail. Ballots must be received by 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 7 (postmarks don’t count). If you need information on dropboxes or have any other election-related questions, go to GoVoteColorado.com.

We know from data provided today by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office that there are still a LOT of ballots floating around or buried underneath a stack of papers on kitchen tables.

 

As of Sunday evening, 830,599 ballots had been returned in Colorado. For context, the total number of ballots cast in the last off-year election of 2021 was 1,560,661.

It’s unlikely that ballot returns will reach 2021 levels, but we should at least crack the 1 million mark.

Return those ballots, people!
