2024 General Election

What you need to know about the 2024 General Election

The Denver Elections Division will administer the 2024 General Election, which includes the contest for the U.S. Presidency, State Senators, U.S. Congressional Representatives, and Local Initiatives and Issues.

Ballots will be mailed to all registered and eligible voters on Oct. 11. Election Day is on November 5, but don't wait to turn your ballot in. The sooner you return it, the sooner we will be able to process and get results to our voters on Election Night. We encourage voters to review and return their completed ballots early!

Read the Ballot Issue Notice and Ballot Information Booklet 

There are three ways to vote as soon as you receive your ballots in October: 

24 hour ballot drop box, mail, and in person

How to Vote

Step 1.Check your registration 

Are you registered to vote? Is your name, address and political affiliation current? Mail ballots can not be forwarded. You can double-check your registration at GoVoteColorado.gov. You can also request your ballot be mailed to an alternate address if you will be out of town. 

Coloradans who meet the 22-day state residency requirement may register to vote through Election Day.

Step 2.Track your ballot

Sign up for BallotTrax to receive email or text notifications about your ballot, including when it’s on its way to you, when it has been received, and once it has been counted. 

If you don't receive your ballot, need a replacement, or an accessible ballot, please visit one of our Voter Service and Polling Centers in person for a replacement. Locations and hours are available here(PDF, 84KB).

Step 3.Early Voting/Accessible Voting

If your registration is current, you'll automatically be mailed a ballot three weeks before Election Day. Send your ballot back by mail, or skip the postage and return it to one of our 24-hour ballot drop-off boxes located throughout the city. If you need a new ballot, visit a VSPC for a replacement. Accessible ballots are available upon request.

Step 4.Need Someone Else to Pick Up Your Ballot? 

You may use an Emergency Replacement Ballot if you are unable to vote your original mail ballot due to:

  • Confinement in a hospital or residence
  • An immediate family member’s confinement in a hospital or residence
  • Emergency conditions like fire, flood or other catastrophic event

Complete an Emergency Replacement Ballot Form(PDF, 32KB) and send it to a Voting Service and Polling Site with your designated representative. Your representative will need to present an acceptable ID along with the signed form to pick up your ballot.

Step 5.In-Person Voter Services

Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) are located throughout Denver for voter registration, replacement ballots, accessibility services, and in-person voting. All VSPCs open at least two weeks prior to Election Day. Make a plan to vote early to avoid a wait. In-person voters visiting a VSPC on the last day to vote must be in line by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. 

Ballots must be received by the Denver Elections Division by 7:00 p.m. on the last day to vote on Election Day. If you choose to return your ballot by mail, send it back no later than Oct. 28, 2024.  

Where to Vote

The Denver Elections Division operates 45 ballot drop-off boxes throughout the city, available 24 hours, seven days a week during elections. In addition to drop boxes, voters can choose to vote in person or return their ballots at a number of vote centers and drive-throughs. Denver also deploys a mobile voting unit during elections to increase voter access.

Learn more about how Elections work

How do Elections in 2024 work? 

The State of Colorado holds regularly scheduled state elections every two years; a State Primary Election in June and a General Election in November. In presidential election years, the state also holds a Presidential Primary Election in March. The nominated candidates from each party's primary ballot will be placed on the November General Election ballot. The winner of the November General Election will hold office. 

Who gets a ballot?

All active-registered voters in the state of Colorado will receive a mail ballot. 

How old do I have to be to vote in the November 2024 General Election? 

You must be at least 18 to vote in the General Election.

Can I vote if I am not yet registered? 

You must register to vote in Colorado. Registration is accessible and easy. A voter must be a citizen of the United States who has lived in Colorado at least 22 days prior to Election Day. You can register and vote up until and through 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. Please note: Oct. 28 is the last day to submit a voter registration application and still receive a ballot in the mail for the November 5 General Election. After Oct. 28, please visit an in-person Voter Service and Polling Location. 

In addition, youth can pre-register to vote in Colorado if they are at least 16 years old and will be 18 by Election Day.

How does the party affiliation process work for the 2024 November General Election? 

There are no party-specific ballots for the 2024 November General Election. All eligible voters will receive the same ballot. 

Where can I vote in Denver? 

Denver has 45 24-hour drop boxes, 37 Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs), and two mobile voting units across the city. Click here for an interactive map to see locations nearest you.

General Election Dates

Voting in Colorado does not happen on just a single day: it's an election season that starts when ballots are mailed three weeks before Election Day. Ballots will be automatically mailed to registered voters with current addresses on Oct. 11, 2024, and those ballots can be voted and returned as soon as they are received all the way up through Election Day. Election Day in Colorado is technically the last day to vote. If in-person voter services are needed, make a plan to avoid the crowd and lines s VSPC near you before Election Day.

Did you Receive a Ballot Mailed to the Wrong Address? 

Visit www.govotecolorado.gov to ensure your voter registration is active and your mailing address is current. Ballots are not forwarded, even if you have submitted a Change of Address Form to the post office.
