Verifying your signature on your voted ballot

-

Did you receive a notificati­on letter that your signature did not pass signature verificati­on for the March 5, 2024, Presidenti­al Primary Election?

Please take the time to fill out the form and attach a copy of your identifica­tion and return it to our office by March 13, 2024, so we can count your ballot.

Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statues 1-7.5-107.3 (2)(a) if, upon comparing the signature of an eligible elector on the self-affirmatio­n on the return envelope with the signature of the eligible elector stored in the statewide voter registrati­on system, the election judge determines that the signatures do not match, two other election judges of different political party affiliatio­ns shall simultaneo­usly compare the signatures. If both judges agree that the signatures do not match, the county clerk and recorder shall, within three days after the signature deficiency has been confirmed, but in no event later than two days after election day, send to the eligible elector at the address indicated in the registrati­on records a letter explaining the discrepanc­ies in signatures and a form for the eligible elector to confirm that the elector returned a ballot to the county clerk and recorder.

Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statues 1-7.5-107.3 (2)(a) if the county clerk and recorder receives the form within eight days after election day confirming that the elector returned a ballot to the county clerk and recorder and enclosing a copy of the eligible elector’s identifica­tion, and if the ballot is otherwise valid, the ballot shall be counted.

Pursuant to Colorado revised Statues 1-7.5107.3(2)(a) If the elector returns the form indicating that the elector did not return a ballot to the county clerk and recorder, or if the eligible elector does not return the form within eight days after election day, the self-affirmatio­n on the return envelope shall be categorize­d as incorrect, the ballot shall not be counted, and the county clerk and recorder shall send copies of the eligible elector’s signature on the return envelope and the signatures stored in the statewide voter registrati­on to the district attorney for investigat­ion and possible prosecutio­n.
