1. When does the Town of Erie hold a local/municipal election?

The Town of Erie holds a Regular Municipal Mail Ballot Election the first Tuesday of April in even-numbered years to elect a Mayor and three Trustees. Trustees serve four-year staggered terms, the Mayor's term is two years and thus that position is on the ballot each Election. .

2. What is Signature Verification?

The purpose of the signature on the outside of the return envelope is to allow election officials to examine the return envelope and compare the information on the envelope to the voter registration records. This is to determine whether the ballot was submitted by an eligible elector who has not previously voted in the election. 

3. Why didn't I get my ballot?

Ballots are mailed to all registered voters with an address within the Town of Erie. If you didn't get a ballot it could be because:

• you moved and didn't change your address
• you live outside the Town of Erie
• you are not a registered voter

4. When will I receive my ballot?

Ballots will be mailed to voters beginning March 14, 2022. Please allow up to a full week for delivery. Please double check your address at www.GoVoteColorado.gov.

5. Where do I vote?

There are three ways you can vote:

1. Mail your ballot: Your ballot will be mailed to your home. You may indicate your vote on the ballot at home whenever it is most convenient for you. When you are finished, simply place your ballot in the return envelope, complete the information on the outside of the envelope (be sure to sign your name on the appropriate space!), add appropriate postage, and drop it in the mail. Just remember to mail it in time to reach the Town of Erie Clerk’s Office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
   
   
2. Drop your ballot in a secure ballot box: Voters who would rather not use the mail may personally drop their ballot in the drop-off box located outside of Town Hall. This is the same location utility bill payments can be made - just inside the roundabout in front of 645 Holbrook Street.
   
   
3. Voter Service Center: If you wish to vote in person, you may do so by bringing your mail ballot to the voter service center (exact location to be determined for each Election).

6. Who is eligible to vote in the Town election?

Any resident of Erie who is at least 18 years of age by Election Day and who has lived in Colorado for at least 22 days preceding the election may vote in the Town election. 

Residents can register with their COUNTY clerk or at www.govotecolorado.com. Same-day registration is also available at a Voter Service Center during the Center's open hours.

7. Can I use BallotTrack for local elections?

The Town of Erie does not use Ballot Track for local elections at this time, if you want to find out if your mailed or dropped-off ballot has been received by the Town Clerk - call 303-926-2733.
