Colorado offers Spanish voter registration, multi-language ballot interpretation hotline

Spanish-speaking Coloradans can register to vote and access information about the upcoming November election at VayaVotarColorado.gov.

The website offers Spanish instructions for registering to vote, updating voter registration, tracking a ballot, and finding nearby drop boxes, polling centers and county clerks. The website and its information come directly from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. 

Beginning on Oct. 16, the office will also offer a hotline for assistance interpreting ballots into other languages.

The language assistance hotline will connect voters with qualified interpreters to live translate the general election ballot content in Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese or Vietnamese, with additional languages available upon request.

To access the hotline, voters can call the Secretary of State’s Office directly at 303-860-6970 for a staff member to connect them with an interpreter. Voters can also call their county clerk’s office or visit a voting center to ask an election judge or county staff about accessing the hotline.

The hotline will be available every weekday through Election Day on Nov. 7. The operation hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Nov. 5, then 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 6 and Nov. 7.

The ballot for the November election will include two statewide ballot measures, along with dozens of local initiatives, mayoral, city council and school board races. 

Ballots will be mailed to registered voters between Oct. 16 and Oct. 20.

All Coloradans can register to vote and update voter registration at GoVoteColorado.gov through Oct. 30 to receive a ballot in the mail. Afterwards, Coloradans can still register to vote and vote in person until 7 p.m. on Election Day. In-person voting will be available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. 

More than 400 drop boxes and 130 voting centers will be available for voters by Oct. 31, with some locations opening earlier. Locations, opening date and hours are available at GoVoteColorado.gov.
