-
If an individual registers to vote by mail, a voter registration agency (including the Thornton City Clerk's Office), a local driver's license facility, or online through
www.govotecolorado.gov by
October 30 and the Adams County Clerk and Recorder will automatically mail a ballot.
-
Voter registration forms are available at several locations including the Adams County Election Office, any City Clerk's Office, Motor Vehicle offices, or
www.govotecolorado.gov.
-
If an individual registers to vote through a voter registration drive, their application must be submitted no later than
October 16.
-
Individuals may also register to vote by appearing in-person at a Voter Service and Polling Center through and including Election Day.

Citizens who are registering for the first time in Colorado must be living in Colorado for 22 days immediately before the election in which the individual intends to vote (October 16, 2023, for the 2023 Election) and provide a valid Colorado driver's license or Colorado identification card.
