Colorado § 31-10-1007

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 31: Government
• Art.: Municipal Election Code

Text

(1) If the self-affirmation on the envelope containing the absentee voter's ballot is properly sworn
to, one of the judges shall open such voter's identification envelope in the presence
of a majority of the judges, and, after announcing in an audible voice the name of
such absentee voter, he or she shall tear open such envelope without defacing the
self-affirmation printed thereon or mutilating the enclosed ballot. Such ballot must
then be cast and counted in the same manner as if such absentee voter had been
present in person; except that one of the judges shall deposit the ballot in the
ballot box without unfolding it. If the absentee voters' ballots are delivered to the
judges of one precinct selected by the clerk as provided by section 31-10-1006, the
absentee vote must be certified separately from the vote of the precinct where it is
counted.
