Douglas County voters, it's time to keep an eye on your mailboxes. Starting today, June 2, ballots for the upcoming Special Election are on their way to the hands of the county's registered voters. This election, called by the Board of Douglas County Commissioners, poses a significant question to the electorate: Should a Home Rule Charter Commission be formed, and who among the nominees should be selected to draft their local rule?
For residents who haven't yet registered to vote but wish to participate in shaping the county's governance, there's still time. According to Douglas County, Colorado election law allows for voter registration up to and including Election Day. Prospective voters can register online at GoVoteColorado.gov through June 16. After this date, they'll need to visit a Voter Service and Polling Center to register.
To vote, Douglas County offers more than 21 ballot drop box locations for your convenience. These secure boxes are a popular choice among voters, with a staggering 90% of ballots typically being delivered in this manner. They are now available and will remain open until 7 p.m. on Election Day, which falls on June 24. For those interested in the nitty-gritty of vote security, DouglasVotes.com provides a live video stream showing activity around these boxes.
