Colorado § 1-8.3-115

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 01: Elections
• Art.: Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act

Text

(1) The local
election official shall request an electronic-mail address from each covered voter
who registers to vote after May 13, 2011. An electronic-mail address provided by a
covered voter shall not be made available to the public or any individual or
organization other than an authorized agent of the local election official and is
exempt from disclosure under article 72 of title 24, C.R.S. The address may be used
only for official communication with the voter about the voting process, including
transmitting ballots and election materials if the voter has requested electronic
transmission, and verifying the voter's mailing address and physical location. The
request for an electronic-mail address shall describe the purposes for which the
electronic-mail address may be used and include a statement that any other use or
disclosure of the electronic-mail address is prohibited.

(2) Unless a covered voter applies to be a permanent mail voter pursuant to
section 1-13.5-1003, the covered voter who provides an electronic-mail address may
request that the voter's application for a military-overseas ballot be considered a
standing request for electronic delivery of a ballot for all elections held through
December 31 of the year following the calendar year of the date of the application
or another shorter period the voter specifies. An election official shall provide a
military-overseas ballot to a voter who makes a standing request for each election
to which the request is applicable. A covered voter who is entitled to receive a
ballot for a primary election under this subsection (2) is entitled to receive a ballot
for the general election.
