More than 33,000 ballots were mailed out Monday to all active registered voters in Garfield County for this month’s Primary Election. Colorado’s Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties are holding statewide primaries on June 30.
Unaffiliated voters should receive both Democratic and Republican ballots, though only one may be filled out and returned or neither will be counted. The opportunity to vote in person will be limited for this election due to the pandemic.
Voters can go to http://www.govotecolorado.gov or call the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder’s Office Elections Department at 970-384-3700, selection 2, to verify your current voter registration information.
The last day a resident can submit a voter registration application and still receive a ballot by mail is June 22. Early voting is available beginning June 22 at both Garfield County Administration buildings in Rifle and Glenwood Springs.
