Early in-person voting has started in Washington, D.C., and Colorado, providing an opportunity for residents to cast their ballots before Election Day. Here is a breakdown of key information you need to know about voting in these states.
In Colorado, there are two competitive House districts that began early voting. The 3rd District, which has been safely Republican for over a decade, is now a Lean R race between former Democratic challenger Adam Frisch and Republican attorney Jeff Hurd. The 8th District, starting in rural Weld County, is a Toss Up race between Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo and Republican state politician Gabe Evans.
For Colorado residents, early voting locations and dates vary, so it is essential to check the state’s election website for specific details. Voter registration can be done in person, by mail, or online until Oct. 28, the deadline to receive a mail ballot.
In Washington, D.C., absentee voting began on Monday, allowing registered voters to receive their ballots by mail or in person through Election Day. Early in-person voting will start on Oct. 28 and run until Nov. 3. The deadline for voter registration in D.C. was Oct. 15, but residents can still register in-person during early voting or on Election Day.
Both states provide comprehensive information on voter eligibility, processes, and deadlines on their election websites and Vote.gov. Whether you choose to vote by mail or in person, it is crucial to understand the requirements and timelines to ensure your vote is counted.
