Am I Registered to Vote?
Whether you are needing to register for the first time or wanting to confirm or update your registration, the State of Colorado allows you to do so online at www.GoVoteColorado.gov.
Requirements for Voter Registration
You must be a United States citizen
You must be at least 18 years of age on or before Election Day
You must be a resident of your precinct at least 22 days prior to the election and consider this your primary place of residence.
Be sure to list your residential street address for your registration. You should also include a mailing address if it is different, but your mailing address cannot be noted as your primary residential address. The residential street address determines your district and precinct and what ballot you will receive each election.
If you are currently unhoused, you may use the location you regularly return to as your physical address. Please check the "I am unhoused" option to do so.
Registrations submitted without a valid street address will be rejected and more information will be requested in order to validate your registration.
How Do I Become Eligible to Vote?
In order to be eligible to vote, you must register in the county in which you reside. By registering, you declare your residency in the State of Colorado within the county and district of your actual physical residence.
If you are registered to vote elsewhere in Colorado, you will update your voter registration record to reflect that you are now in Gilpin County.
If you are registered to vote elsewhere in the US, you need to withdraw your registration in that state as it is not necessarily terminated for you by that state. While ballots are not forwarded by the USPS, it is a federal crime to vote twice in any election.
