To be eligible to vote, you must be:
- A U.S. Citizen
- 16 years of age, but you must be at least 18 years old to vote in an other election
- A Colorado resident for at least 22 days before an election
- Not serving a sentence for a felony conviction
Note: You must have a residence in order to register to vote. Once you have established a residence, it exists until you establish a new residence. Residency for the purpose of voting means the principal or primary home place in which you live.
Homeless voters can register to vote. A homeless voter may use any address within a specific county that he/she regularly returns to and has the intent to remain. This may include a homeless shelter, a homeless service provided, a park, a campground, a vacant lot, a business address, or any other physical location.
College students that are residents of Colorado may keep their registration in their hometown and vote by mail.
