General Election Information:
The following statement has been prepared by the City of Boulder,
and is reprinted as it appears here
"The City of Boulder Municipal Election will be conducted as a coordinated election with Boulder County by mail ballot. All active voters are automatically mailed a ballot to the address at which they are registered 25 days to 15 days prior to the date of the election. An active voter is any voter who cast a ballot in the most recent general election, has registered to vote since the last general election, or who has updated an existing voter registration record since the last general election. Ballots cannot be forwarded. Ballots will be available at the County Clerk and Recorder’s Office for any inactive voter wishing to vote, for voters who have moved and therefore did not receive a ballot and for any other eligible voter who for whatever reason did not receive a ballot. These voters will need to sign a sworn statement to the circumstances regarding their need for a ballot and make an address change to their voter registration records if they have moved. The ballot may be picked up in person by the voter or maybe mailed directly to the voter. Ballots returned to the County Clerk as undeliverable will be logged in, held in a locked area and fully accounted for as part of the audit process. Completed ballots may be returned by mail or dropped off at any office of the Boulder County Clerk. In order to be counted, they must be received no later than 7:00 p.m. on election night."
