• Art.: Colorado Local Government Election Code

Text

(1) Any eligible
elector applying for and receiving an absentee voter's ballot, in casting the ballot,
shall make and subscribe to the self-affirmation on the return envelope. The voter
shall then mark the ballot. The voter shall fold the ballot so as to conceal the
marking, deposit it in the return envelope, and seal the envelope securely. The
envelope may be delivered personally or mailed by the voter to the designated
election official issuing the ballot. It is permissible for a voter to deliver the ballot to
any person of the voter's own choice or to any duly authorized agent of the
designated election official for mailing or personal delivery to the designated
election official. To be counted, all envelopes containing absentee voter's ballots
must be in the hands of the designated election official or an election judge for the
local government not later than 7 p.m. on election day.

(2) Upon receipt of an absentee voter's ballot, the designated election
official or an election judge shall write or stamp on the envelope containing the
ballot the date and hour that the envelope was received and, if the ballot was
delivered in person, the name and address of the person delivering the same. The
designated election official or election judge shall safely keep and preserve all
absentee voter's ballots unopened until the time prescribed for delivery to the
judges as provided in section 1-13.5-1008.
