Message from the Chair
I woke up and voted my primary ballot this morning. There are no contested Democratic races in our county this cycle, but it felt really good to vote for Jared Polis, Angelika Schroeder, Stephen Ludwig, Joann Ginal and Karen Stockley.
All registered voters will receive a mail-in ballot in this all mail-in election, but that does not guarantee you will receive a ballot in November! Take a minute today and visit larimer.org/elections and check your voter registration. If your status is not listed as "active" you will not receive a ballot in November. You can also update your registration and sign up to receive a mail-in ballot somewhere around October 18th this fall.
And I'd like to encourage everybody who plans to live at their current address for the next eighteen months to vote by mail and vote when you receive your ballot. This voting method helps your candidates win. This voting method cuts down the barrage of phone calls we all receive during the election season. This voting method allows you to have your say and then come down the HQ to help us Get Out The Vote. But you have to be properly registered at the right address to vote this this way.
