Early Voting in Boulder is off to a Strong Start. According to the local Boulder newspaper, The Daily Camera, almost one in every five registered voters have already cast their Ballot!
Boulder County's early voting numbers are pretty much in line with the rest of the state of Colorado with about 18 percent or 39,837 voters having either mailed in their ballots or cast their ballot at an early voting location as of Wednesday night.
A higher percentage of Boulder County voters tend to vote early as compared to the national average with approximately 49% having voted early in the last presidential election. This year should be no exception as there is a larger number of voters signed up for mail-in ballots than ever before.
Predictions are that approximately one thrid of all voters across the United States will be casing their ballots early this year as compared to 22% in 2004 and only 16% in 2000.
My husband and I have our mail-in ballots ready to go and we have encouraged our children to do the same. So much easier than waiting until election day and having to wait in the long lines. Besides it gives us more time to sit in a quiet place and place our votes carefully for not only the presidential candicate of our choice, but for those seeking local offices as well as many of the amendments on our ballot this year.
Early Voting in Boulder County is open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday through october 31st.
