Elections in Aurora
Get ready, Aurora. A big election is coming to our
city. On Nov. 5, Aurora voters will elect mayor and council
members for Aurora City Council Wards IV, V, VI and two At-Large
seats, as well cast their vote on statewide ballot issues, among
other things.
It’s time to make sure you are registered to vote
and ready to participate in the coordinated election.
Ballots are mailed in every Colorado election.
Visit GoVoteColorado.com
to check your registration status and make sure your address is
current because ballots are not forwarded by the U.S. Postal
Service.
The municipal elections are held as part of
coordinated elections conducted by county clerk and recorders for
Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Counties will mail ballots
starting Oct. 14 to all active registered voters. If you do not
receive a ballot by Oct. 21, update your voter registration at GoVoteColorado.com
and a replacement one will be mailed to you. Or you may visit a
Voter Service and Polling Center for a replacement ballot
starting Oct. 28. After Oct. 28, ballots are not mailed, and you
will need to visit a Voter Service and Polling Center to update
your registration and request a ballot.
Ballots may be returned by mail with paid postage,
or delivered to any one of the ballot drop-off locations in your
county. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Election Day Nov. 5 to
be counted.
If you prefer to handle things in person, please
visit any one of four Service and Polling Centers between Oct. 28
and Nov. 5 to register to vote, update your registration, replace
or request a ballot, or vote on an accessible voting machine.
