YOU CAN REGISTER TO VOTE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT ADDRESS. 

Visit this web page to learn more about displaced voters in Colorado. 

In Colorado, voters currently without a fixed permanent home are eligible to register and vote in the upcoming election.

Voters in this situation should be sure to update their address with their local county clerk as soon as possible.

Voters without a fixed permanent home should be registered at the place they consider their “home base”.

• “Home base” means a location the voter regularly returns to and intends to remain.
• This can include a park, vacant lot or homeless shelter.
• It’s important that a voter who is registered at a location that does not receive mail also designates a mailing address where they can pick up their ballot. This mailing address can be anywhere that the voter has the ability to access their mail on a regular basis and can include a post office box.

Voters in this situation who miss or are not able to access their mail ballot may always visit a polling center located in their county to vote.

If you are experiencing a disability and encountering problems such as:

• Being denied the right to vote
• Trying to vote while in a residential facility or group home
• You were not allowed into a polling place because of a service animal
• Lack of an accessible voting machine
• Family, caretakers, or poll workers trying to prevent you from voting
