Monday marks the last day you can expect that a ballot you put in a mailbox will arrive at your county’s voting center for counting by Nov. 3, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.

The office also pointed out that it would be the last day for voters to request a ballot from their clerk and receive it in the mail. After Monday, all voters are encouraged to put their ballot in a drop box or by going to their county’s designated polling center.

Among the 12,145 of Coloradans who chose to vote in person, 38.5% of Republicans opted for that route, outpacing unaffiliated voters (33.2%) and Democrats (26.2%).
