This year, state officials reported that almost 800 ballot drop boxes and ballot centers were set up across the state, which is the most that Colorado has ever had during any election.
” Now, we have 433 drop boxes and 365 voting centres clear overall — the most we have ever had in any vote”, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a Monday news event. We anticipate a successful election and will defend all of the electorates ‘ rights. Every available vote, regardless of postal code, contest or the amount of money in their bank accounts, will be able to make their words heard in our votes”.
Voters may find the closest polling place or cut box to them on the , Colorado Secretary of State’s site.
Additionally, Colorado authorized$ 5 million in cash to improve election security and exposure, expanded the ban on guns near ballot, and passed first-in-the-nation legislation criminalizing false voters and insider trading, laws preventing bad faith attempts to halt the certification of the presidential election, and regulations governing deepfakes, according to Griswold.
Citizens in Colorado are lawfully able to exercise their right:
Official poll watchers or members of the public are not permitted to interfere with a vote casting a vote, even at fall boxes or voting facilities.

” Your voting is your words”, Colorado House Assistant Majority Leader Jennifer Bacon said in Monday’s press conference. Voting is a basic right and gives our country life. Any attempts to alienate, threaten or scare voters have no position in our Democracy”.
