How To Sign Up For Ballot Tracking In Jefferson County

JEFFERSON COUNTY, CO — The Nov. 3 election is fast approaching, and there are ways that voters can ensure there are no last-minute surprises holding them back from casting a ballot.

First, voters to make sure they are registered to vote and that their voter registration is up to date.

Then, voters are encouraged to sign up for ballot tracking — you can receive alerts by phone, email or text message by filling out this form. The tracking system will offer updates from the time your ballot is mailed to when it's accepted. BallotTrax will not update your voter registration.

The only information BallotTrax needs is your first name, last name, date of birth and ZIP code. This is the voter registration information that is made available via public records under open records laws. Voter ID is only required when the above information exists for more than one person. You are not required to provide a SSN or license number.

Don't use an alias to log in, or you will be denied access, officials said.
