Obama loses Colorado by some tiny margin, I will be reminded of this and get very sad.
So ballots dropped off Monday or mailed Saturday in time to get picked up Saturday. Even I didn’t make that – mine would have arrived Tuesday. No need to worry (yet).
Will the folks who were supposed to get those ballots have a chance to vote in person? Or are they now in limbo?
I asked them for an update today and we should see some decent numbers through today.
If a mail-in ballot is deemed undeliverable, does that person retain the right to vote in person, either early or on the day of the election?
They have to sign an affidavit that they didn’t receive their ballot and then they can vote at the polls as long as they don’t show up in the poll book as having voted.
But the better choice, obviously, would be to get their address record cleaned up. They can do that all the way up to Oct. 28, as they are not changing their voting address, just their mailing address.
I had no idea. Good to know.
Boulder county, with a transient student population, will have many undeliverable mail ballots returned.
Every county has undeliverable mail ballots returned. Clerks have to send out ballots to ALL registered voters, even if their addresses aren’t correct.
One of the reasons for this is that voters drop off the voting rolls after not voting in two general elections. With Denver’s snafu in the previous general election many people didn’t vote and may have been dropped. So new legislation passed requiring Clerks to send out ballots wide and far.
In Boulder, however, this doesn’t mean much.
…I thought a person had to request one first.
Not all registered voters get absentee ballots (not yet at least). Just the ones who have requested them.
If a registered voter had requested an absentee ballot in the past, they are sent a ballot.
You do not automatically get an absentee ballot if you voted absentee in the past. You have to specifically request an absentee ballot each year, or you have to apply for a permanent mail-in ballot (which didn’t exist prior to July 2007).
