Voting locations and times remain unaffected in Conejos, La Plata, Montezuma and Rio Grande counties.

Eligible voters impacted by floods who have not yet cast their ballot can visit any voter center across the state to request and receive a replacement ballot.

• Visiting a voter center within their home county will allow eligible voters to vote a ballot with all of their local contests. Note, Archuleta voters can also visit Pine River Library at Bayfield to vote a ballot with all of their local contests.
• Visiting a voter center outside of their home county will allow eligible voters to vote a replacement ballot with only statewide races.
• Voters who have access to their mail ballot can return that ballot to any drop box or voter center in the state by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day and it will make it back to their county clerk for signature verification and tabulation.
• Voters who are unable to vote in person or return their mail ballot due to flooding can request an emergency ballot at https://myballot.coloradosos.gov/app/home.
