Election 2020 In Jefferson County: Ballot Returns By Party

JEFFERSON COUNTY, CO — More than 260,000 ballots have been returned in Jefferson County, officials announced Thursday.

If you haven't returned your ballot yet, you can go to any in-person vote center in Jeffco; however officials are encouraging voters to use drop boxes whenever possible amid the coronavirus pandemic. Twenty-one new drop boxes were added in the county, many of which don't require voters to get out of their vehicles.

"Every box is on 24/7 video surveillance and collections are only made by bipartisan teams of background-checked election workers who put them into sealed transport bags before bringing them back to our processing center," Jeffco Clerk and Recorder George Stern said in an elections update.
