More than one in three Colorado voters has already cast their ballot as of Wednesday night.

Election officials have processed nearly 1.3 million votes to date, a little more than 1% of which have been in person. Democratic women continue to lead in returns, representing nearly one-quarter of the electorate to date. They are trailed by unaffiliated men, at approximately 18% of the electorate.

Although Democrats have turned in more ballots in populous Denver metro counties like Arapahoe and Jefferson, Democratic turnout trails Republicans by roughly 2,000 in Weld County and by 7,000 in Douglas County, both of which have unaffiliated voters as the highest-turnout category.

The deadline for county clerks to receive ballots is 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Voters can update their registration and find in-person voting locations or drop boxes at www.govotecolorado.com. People may register in person through Election Day and vote.

By Thursday afternoon, 47.1 million people nationwide had already cast votes, according to the U.S. Elections Project from University of Florida political scientist Michael McDonald. Approximately 139 million Americans voted in the 2016 presidential election. The project reports that Colorado has currently surpassed 40% of its 2016 turnout.
