El Paso County opens more voter service and polling centers

Four additional voter service and polling centers opened Monday in El Paso County, and will stay open through Election Day for the primary elections June 28.
Five locations are now open, including the main office at the El Paso County Clerk’s Office at 1675 W. Garden of the Gods Road. The centers that opened Monday include downtown Centennial Hall and the clerk’s offices at Fort Carson, the North Branch and the Southeast Branch.
Voter centers register or update voter registrations and issue ballots to voters who did not receive a ballot via mail. The centers also host in-person voting for voters who elect to trade in their mail-in ballot.
Ballot drop off boxes are available at 39 24-hour ballot drop-off locations in El Paso County. A full list is available at epcvotes.com.
