Presidential Primary 2020: Ballots Sent To Jeffco Voters

Ballots are in the mail —​ here are drop box locations and deadlines.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, CO — Election officials have begun mailing ballots for the 2020 presidential primary to voters in Jefferson County. Ballots can take up to eight days to arrive, and ballots are not ordered by address, so spouses and roommates sometimes receive their ballots on different days.

On Jan. 18, ballots were mailed to all military and overseas voters.

Coloradans will cast their votes in three elections in 2020 — the first of which is on March 3 — Super Tuesday.
