Greetings:
The following press release comes from the office of the Colorado Secretary
of State. I advise everyone reading this to sign up. It's pretty painless
and gives you a great way to know when your ballot has been mailed out, when
it has been received by your county, and whether or not your ballot has run
into any problems such as a mismatched signature.
Cordially,
Curtis Chong

Colorado To Implement Ballot Tracking Statewide for November's Election
DENVER, Colo- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold today announced that
for the first time, voters in all 64 counties will be able to track the
status of their individual mail ballots for the 2020 General Election.
Voters will be able to receive notifications by phone, email, or text about
the status of their mail ballots, from the time their County Clerk and
Recorder mails the outgoing ballot packet, to when their voted ballot is
received and accepted for counting.
"I'm happy to announce that for the first time, every Colorado voter will
have access to ballot tracking, to be able to see when ballots are sent to
when they are processed," said Secretary Griswold. "This new program is one
of the many ways that Colorado continually innovates to ensure our elections
are the best in the nation."
The Colorado Secretary of State's Office is offering the BallotTrax ballot
tracking and messaging system to all counties. Twelve counties implemented
this system in past elections, and voters in those counties will not notice
any changes to the content, format or timing of the ballot status messages
they receive. The City and County of Denver developed and will continue to
operate a separate but similar system. The effect of the Secretary of
State's initiative makes the BallotTrax system available to voters in the 51
counties that never before had access to ballot tracking.
Beginning today, voters in counties that are adding ballot tracking will
receive a notification that they have been enrolled in the service if their
registration record contains an email address. Those who don't receive an
auto-enrollment notification can sign up themselves at

Voters can opt out of BallotTrax at any time. Voters in counties with
preexisting ballot tracking capabilities, including Denver's BallotTrace,
will not need to re-enroll and will be able to continue to have their
ballots tracked without interruption.
"The ability for voters to get text, email, or phone messages with our
ballot tracking service has been in place since it was first introduced in
2015 and has only grown in popularity with each passing year," said Boulder
County Clerk and Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick. "It provides a measure of
reassurance to voters that their ballots have arrived back to our offices
safely and securely and are now ready to be counted."
