Colorado secretary of state recommends voters drop off ballots rather than

Several county clerks have expressed concern that the U.S. Postal Service did not deliver their ballots in a timely manner. Here's the thing: If you mail your ballot at this point, it may not actually arrive on time and be counted.

If you feel that might be cutting it too close for comfort, you may drop off your voted early ballot at any Maricopa County polling site on Election Day.

Ryan Parsell of the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's office says he's never seen this problem before, and suggests that voters use the ballot drop off locations instead. "To ensure your vote is counted, I recommend mailing or delivering your ballot immediately to your respective town clerk's office".

Complications with the postal service meant many ballots never got mailed.

The Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office will begin providing drive-by ballot drop-off locations for voters on Friday.

The first report from precincts is expected at about 9:30 p.m. election night and will be updated about every 30 minutes thereafter until all ballots are returned from the polls by approximately 11 p.m.

After this date, all registered voters must apply in person at the Clerk's Office to cast their ballot with a Vote by Mail Ballot. Election officials say only a quarter of absentee ballots have been returned.

The correct ballot includes Proposition 1 for sales tax and the candidates for this year's town council elections: Pat Argyle, Darin Pugmire (both incumbents) and write-in candidate Andrew Stokes.

Election Day is a week away and so far turnout appears dismal. As of Tuesday, Rupert said that all delayed ballots had been delivered.

"Here's the bottom line", Rupert said.
