Primary election participation requires voter affiliation

 With the June 26 mail ballot-only Primary election about a month away, Douglas County Elections officials remind unaffiliated voters and affiliated voters of some important steps in voter preparedness.

Unaffiliated voters who wish to vote in the June 26 2012 Primary election must affiliate with either the American Constitutional, Democratic, or the Republican Party – and may do so up until Primary election day. However, unaffiliated voters are encouraged to change their status as soon as possible to avoid wait times on Election Day.

Affiliated voters who want to change affiliation from one party to another must do so by May 25.

Ballots will be mailed to affiliated voters during the week of June 4. If an eligible voter does not receive a mail ballot by June 12, County Elections Division staff asks the voter to contact Elections Headquarters at 303 660-7444.

The Douglas County Elections Office Has Moved

The Douglas County Elections Office has moved to 125 Stephanie Place in Castle Rock, view map. The new location will accommodate the needed consolidation of Elections Division staff, as well as Elections Operations, into one location – currently managed in three different locations in Castle Rock.

“We outgrew our space,” said Jack Arrowsmith, Douglas County Clerk and Recorder. “With nearly 80 percent of Douglas County voters registered for the permanent mail-in ballot, a larger space was needed to receive, process, tabulate ballots and accommodate the post-election, state-mandated ballot storage – all of which exceeded our current space,” Arrowsmith said.

The new location will house Elections staff, mail-in ballot processing (receipt of ballots, processing, and scanning in preparation for Election-night tabulation), state-mandated ballot storage, election judge training, improved public observation of the process, election equipment storage, staging for polling sites, and dock space to facilitate movement of large equipment and ballots.

Consolidation of all operations into the new site is intentional – to support the demands of the 2012 Elections.
