AURORA | The clock is ticking as Election Day draws ever closer, but this is Colorado, and you can still make your vote count.
The deadline for mailing in ballots has already passed. However, voters may visit a Voter Service and Polling Center and request a replacement ballot, and their original ballot will simply be voided on the statewide voter registration system. They do not need to present and relinquish the original ballot.
In Adams County, Two-Day Voter Service and Polling Centers open on Monday, Nov. 5. Their hours of operation will be: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday; and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Ballot drop-off boxes in Adams County will close at 7 p.m., Nov. 6. A detailed list of drop-off box locations for Adams County can be found at www.adamsvotes.com/2018-general-election/ballot-drop-off-locations.

Residents who received ballots in the mail but did not return them can still vote traditionally at the polls. To do so, they would be required to surrender their mail-in ballot in person at the voting center.
Mailed-in ballots must be received by the county clerk and recorder no later than 7 pm on Election Day. Voters are encouraged to drop off their ballots at designated drop-off sites or mail them in time to be properly counted.
