Arapahoe County

Congrats to our Elections Division, which was recently honored by the Election Center for working with Adams and Denver counties to serve voters along their borders! Arapahoe County co-manages several vote centers and ballot boxes that allow voters from any surrounding county to vote their unique ballot, rather than a provisional or statewide ballot that wouldn’t contain contests specific to voters’ precincts. Similarly, voters who return their mail ballot to a co-branded 24-hour ballot drop box can rest assured their ballot will be delivered to their home county.
