Want to know whether your Colorado ballot arrived? Start at GoVoteColorado.gov, the Secretary of State’s voter portal. Choose “Check my mail ballot status” to review your voter record. You can also sign up for BallotTrax alerts to follow your ballot through the mail and county election process.
These tools answer related but different questions. Your voter record lets you check the ballot status tied to your registration. BallotTrax sends updates when available. Neither tool asks you to tell a news site how you voted.
How do I track my Colorado ballot?
- Go directly to GoVoteColorado.gov. Under “View or update my voter record,” select “Check my mail ballot status.”
- If you want notifications, use the “Sign up for BallotTrax” option on the same official page. You may choose the contact method offered there.
- After returning your ballot, check for an update. Processing can take time. If the record does not reflect your ballot after a reasonable interval, contact your county election office rather than assuming it was lost.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s voting-rights guide also directs voters to BallotTrax for ballot-status updates.
What do the updates mean?
An outgoing-ballot notice concerns the ballot sent to you. A received notice means election officials have your returned ballot. An accepted status indicates the ballot has passed the checks reflected in that system. Notification timing can differ from the actual handoff or review, so use the status shown in your official record and contact the clerk if you see a problem.
Do not mistake “sent” for “counted.” The key question after you return a ballot is whether the elections office received and accepted it.
What if my ballot is missing or has a problem?
First, confirm that your registration and mailing address are correct at GoVoteColorado.gov. If you need a replacement ballot or in-person help, an Eagle County voter service and polling center can help. For a missing signature or another problem with a returned ballot, follow the county clerk’s notice promptly. The state portal also links to its official “Txt2Cure” process.
For Eagle County-specific help, call the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder at 970-328-8715 or email elections@eaglecounty.us. Do not send your date of birth or identification number in a public comment or social-media message.
When is the 2026 deadline?
The 2026 Colorado election calendar sets Election Day for Tuesday, Nov. 3. A domestic mail ballot must reach election officials by 7 p.m. that day; a postmark alone is not enough. If you are returning your ballot close to Election Day, use an official drop box or voter service and polling center instead of relying on mail delivery. Our deadline guide explains the options.
Quick answers
Can I track my ballot without signing up for texts?
Yes. Use “Check my mail ballot status” in the state voter portal. BallotTrax notifications are an additional option.
Does a ballot-tracking alert show my choices?
No. Ballot tracking concerns the return and processing of the ballot, not the votes marked on it.
Where should I report a discrepancy?
Contact Eagle County Elections directly at 970-328-8715 or elections@eaglecounty.us. Use official links when entering personal details.
