Fremont County Clerk Norma Hatfield says ballots for the November 1st Coordinated Mail Ballot Election have been mailed to voters in Fremont County. Voters can expect those ballots to arrive by October 17th. The mail ballot will be the only method to vote in the election. There will be no polling places and no early voting for the election. Mrs. Hatfield says voters can deposit their completed ballots into the box at the Clerk’s Office no later than 7:00 p.m. Election Day November 1st. Voters can also drop their ballots in boxes located in the Clerk’s Branch Office at 31 Werner Road in Penrose or the Florence City Hall at 300 West Main in Florence by 4:30 p.m. November 1st.
Mrs. Hatfield says special postage is required if you return your ballots by mail. Voters should attach 60 cents in postage to their ballot for return mail. A 37 cent stamp will not be sufficient to guarantee return of the ballot to the Clerk’s Office.
If you are a registered voter but did not vote in the 2004 general election, then you will not receive a ballot in the mail. Registered voters who do not receive a ballot in the mail will have to appear in person at the Clerk’s Office, Room 102, of the Fremont County Administration Building at 615 Macon Avenue in Canon City. The appearance is required because state law requires voters to show proper identification and sign a signature card. If you are a registered voter and have not received a ballot in the mail by October 24th you should call the County Clerk’s Office at 276-7332 for information on your voting status.
Ballots returned by mail must be received in the Clerk’s Office by November 1st. Ballots with a November 1st postmark will not be counted if received after Election Day.
