It is essential the unaffiliated voter only votes and returns one ballot.\u00a0 They should destroy and discard the other ballot.\u00a0 If the unaffiliated voter returns both ballots voted, neither will be counted. The voter needs to <strong><em>vote only one ballot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>The mail ballot packet contains an \u201cI Voted\u201d sticker on the instruction sheet. Five different, colorful designs allow mail-in voters to show they have voted by wearing their sticker. If you do not receive your ballot by June 12, contact our Elections Department at 719-575-VOTE (8683). To track the status of your mail ballot, sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/ballottrax.coloradosos.gov\/voter\/\">BallotTrax<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>The Clerk provides 39 secure 24-hour ballot drop box locations throughout the county. \u00a099% of the county\u2019s population lives within a fifteen-minute drive of one of these locations.\u00a0 Every ballot box is under 24\/7 camera surveillance and gives the public access to view each box. By visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epcvotes.com\">www.epcvotes.com<\/a> you can view motion triggered events at any of the ballot boxes.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Voters also may return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) by affixing adequate postage to their return envelope. The Clerk\u2019s Office recommends that voters do not return their voted ballot by mail after June 17.\u00a0 All voted ballots must be returned to the Clerk and Recorder\u2019s Office by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, June 25, to be counted.\u00a0 Postmarked ballots received after the deadline cannot be counted.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Any voter needing a replacement ballot, or other in-person services may visit the VSPC at the Citizens Service Center at 1675 West Garden of the Gods Road.\u00a0 Additional Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) will open in phases June 10.
