You may register to vote online or update your registration and still receive a mail ballot up to 8 days before the election in which you intend to vote. After that, you can register to vote or update your registration in person at a Voter Service Center and vote in person, up until 7pm on Election Day when polls close.

NOTE: Deadlines and inperson voting at a VSPC may change depending on the local election. Please review the Colorado Springs City Election site for most current election information. 

If you're up-to-date on your voter registration, your mail-in ballot should arrive directly in your Worner box. Ballots will start getting mailed three weeks before Election Day. If you do not register in time to receive a ballot by mail (by March 10, 2023 for the next election), or if you misplace your ballot, you can vote in person or get a replacement ballot at a Voter Service and Polling Center once voting begins.

NOTE: The 2023 Municipal Election is a mail-only election and ballots need to be received by 7pm on April 4th, 2023
