The Colorado Politics voter guide, a public service

Citizen engagement is crucial in sustaining America’s experiment in representative democracy and voting in an election is not just any ritual. Encapsulated in that act is often the purest expression of a people’s ability to choose their leaders, exactly the kind of freedom denied to so many in other parts of the world. 

As a public service, we compiled this guide to help you. We hope that you find this guide informative and useful in your electoral decisions this November.  

Here are key dates to remember 

  • Oct. 17: Ballots are mailed to voters.  

  • Oct. 24: Voter service and polling centers open. It’s also the first day voters can turn in ballots at drop boxes. 

  • Oct. 31: Last day to submit an application to register vote in order to receive a mail ballot.

  • Nov. 8: Election day. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and mail ballots must be received by by 7 p.m.

How we put together this guide 

Our journalists reached out to the candidates, and, along with information from official sources, notably the Secretary of State’s Office and and Colorado’s independent redistricting commissions, compiled the data to produce this guide. The ballot measure analysis comes via the Legislative Council’s 2022 State Ballot Information Booklet. If there are any errors, please don’t hesitate contact editors Luige del Puerto at luige.delpuerto@coloradopolitics.com and Pat Poblete at pat.poblete@coloradopolitics.com 

How we cover the elections 

We value objectivity and strive to ensure that our election coverage is free from bias. We encourage our staffers to exercise their rights to engage in the democratic process, but they do not endorse or contribute to campaigns or candidates.  

News and opinion are separate  

At Colorado Politics, we welcome diverse viewpoints on our opinion pages. Our newsroom does not take a position on issues and these viewpoints do not reflect our news coverage.
