Election ballots were delivered
through US mail last week. Ballot Measure 3A – operational levy for BVSD – is on the
November 2016 ballot. I encourage you to study the proposed levy and vote in the upcoming election. Nov. 8 (by 7
p.m.) is the last day to vote or drop off a ballot.
A lot has changed in Colorado since the last presidential
election. Here’s what you need to know to vote in this election:
●
Check your voter
registration as all active voters are sent a ballot in the mail! Make sure your
address is current. This is especially important if you have moved in the last
year or if you haven’t voted for a few years. Check online at
govotecolorado.com.
●
Track your mail
ballot.
If you live in Boulder County, you can sign up for Ballot Track to receive
messages by email, text, or phone when your mail ballot has been printed,
mailed, and received back by Boulder County Elections during election periods.
●
In person voting is
available. If
you prefer to vote in person, a list of Voter Service and Polling Centers will
be included in your mail ballot packet.
●
Vote early! Once you decide
how to vote, return your mail ballot. Voting early helps reduce campaign phone
calls for you and helps the county process ballots throughout the election
period rather than just on one night. Note that no votes are tabulated before
election night.
