Good morning. It's Election Day in Colorado!

A quick 🧵 about today #Election2021:

First: It's an off-year election. That means no marquee races and only a limited number of statewide ballot measures (in this case, three).

But locally (certainly in Denver), there's plenty of issues for you to weigh in on.

Next: It's way too late to mail back your ballot.

Find a ballot drop box, or polling place near you: sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections…

If you're in line by 7pm, you'll be able to vote.

If you haven't registered to vote yet, you can register AND vote today.

If you're dropping your ballot off in a drop box, make sure you signed the back of it!

If you've already dropped your ballot off, or are dropping it off today, remember that you can automatically track your ballot:

cpr.org/2020/09/14/ele…

If you're an Election Day voter, we want to hear from you! How was your experience?

Also, these guides might help re: understanding what you're voting on:

Statewide voter guide: cpr.org/2021/10/07/col…

Denver voter guide: cpr.org/2021/10/07/col…

If you're dropping off your ballot in a ballot box while walking your dog (or other pet), we'd like pics please.

A few notes about results:

🗳 Election results will begin coming in at 7pm, but are not final until they've been certified — which the state will do on November 29th, barring any recounts

🗳 The Associated Press is not calling races in Colorado this year, and we (@CPRNews, @KRCC @Denverite) don't call races

🗳 We will report vote tallies as they are counted and reported by the Secretary of State

🗳We will report if a group supporting or opposing a ballot measure concedes defeat

Questions? Thoughts?

We'll be here.
