Boulder County Clerk and Recorder / Boulder County Elections

09/29/2026

Do you have family and friends who live in other states? Many states have registration deadlines happening in the next few days. So NOW is time to ask them if they are registered to vote. If they are, you can also encourage them to check their registration to make sure they are all set to vote in the 2026 General Election.

It's always a great idea to check your own registration and encourage friends and family here in Colorado to check theirs, too. The good news is Colorado doesn't have a registration deadline, so folks can register and vote until Vote Centers close at 7 p.m. on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 3).

Let's get this election started! Ballots for UOCAVA voters (military and overseas folks registered in Boulder County) drop TOMORROW - Sept. 18.

For the rest of us, ballots are mailing out a week earlier than in the past. A new election law went into effect in Colorado this year. So ballots will be mailed on Oct. 2 and hitting mailboxes beginning the week of Oct. 5.

Get ready to vote, BoCo!

We still have space! Please join us this evening and celebrate National Voter Registration Day!

Join Boulder County Clerk & Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick at the Longmont Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Clerk & Recorder Fitzpatrick will explain how elections in Boulder County are accessible and secure.

You'll learn what happens to your mail ballot after you return it and safeguards that protect ballot processing. You'll also learn how you can get involved in this election - and how students as young as 15 can participate in the process, too!

The event is free, but the library is asking folks to register in advance. Learn more and register on the library's website:

Sept 3 update: On August 27 a federal court blocked the USPS from implementing its new mail-ballot rules. Today, the Trump Administration formally asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review that temporary order, which would allow the USPS to move forward with the proposed changes.

The Supreme Court is expected to respond to the request by Thursday, Sept 10 (earlier post said Tues). We will await that decision and provide any new updates then.

Currently, we expect our mail ballot process in Colorado to proceed as normal. However, please know that our office is prepared to ensure a successful, transparent, and fair election under any circumstances.

Stage 2 Fire Restrictions Enacted for Western Boulder County; Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Enacted for Eastern Boulder County.

We understand many voters are anxious or concerned. Our office has already received many calls and emails on what is happening with the Supreme Court decision and how it impacts our elections.

In order to help our community make sense of it all, our office summarized the current situation on our website. You can find it here: https://bouldercounty.gov/elections/information/federal-activity/

Please also know we are planning many community events in the coming two months to help empower voters in the election process. The focus will be on federal activity and how to support election offices and voters in Colorado and across the country. Please check back here or on our website frequently on how you can stay engaged and informed.
