Turn in your ballot. You can do it today. Or you can vote in person. Here’s Sarah Colding, the Election Coordinator for Moffat County.
“We would love to see people before Nov. 8. You can come in and vote a little bit early and you won’t have to wait in the long, long line.”
It’s the same in Routt County. Clerk and Recorder Jenny Thomas says polling centers are open today.
“You can come in and get a replacement ballot. You can vote on a machine. Don’t wait until Tuesday. It’s all happening right now so go ahead and get those ballots in. We’re open now and it’s all happening.”
Stop in to the polling center or county clerk’s office if you didn’t get your ballot in the mail or if you need a replacement ballot. It’s in the historic courthouse building in downtown Steamboat Springs.
