2021 Coordinated Election

The 2021 Coordinated Election Day is Tuesday, November 2. Voters who do not receive a ballot packet may request replacement ballots in person at the Garfield County Clerk’s offices in Glenwood Springs or Rifle, or by phone (970-384-3700, option 2), fax (970-947-1078) or email.

The last day a ballot may be mailed to a voter is Monday, October 25. After that date, voters must appear in person at a Voter Service & Polling Center (VSPC) at the Glenwood Springs Community Center or the Garfield County Administration Building, #D, in Rifle to request a replacement ballot, register to vote, or complete a change of address and receive a ballot. Any voter may surrender their mail ballot and cast their vote on an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible ballot-marking device (BMD) at either of the early voting sites or any of the Election Day-only vote centers.

Ballots can be returned by mail with appropriate postage ($0.58 stamp). Ballots must be received at a 24/7 ballot drop box, a VSPC, or the Garfield County Clerk’s offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Postmarks do not count. Each VSPC has at least one ADA-accessible ballot-marking device available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
