Mail-In Ballot Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to become a voter for this election?

Voters must reside in Frisco no later than 22 days prior to the election. Voters may register to vote, or update records online at GoVoteColorado.com or by obtaining and returning a voter registration form to the Town Clerk or to the Summit County Clerk and Recorder. A voter may only be registered in one County. Multiple registrations are deleted by the Colorado Secretary of State.

Who will receive ballots automatically?

“Active” registered voters (those who have voted in the last general election or have recently registered to vote) will receive a ballot by mail automatically so long as their mailing information is up-to-date with the Summit County elections office.

Who might NOT receive a ballot automatically?

  • Voters who have not voted in the last general election (inactive status)
  • Voters who registered/moved out of the county or state, or changed a mailing address without updating voter registration records
  • Voters whose ballot or mailing sent by the County Clerk and Recorder was returned by the post office

To check the status of your mail ballot visit www.GoVoteColorado.gov or contact the Summit County Clerk and Recorders office by email or calling (970) 453-3479.

New Voters or inactive voters may submit an application or request and mail-in ballot on www.GoVoteColorado.gov, or submit a signed application via email, in person or by mail to the Frisco Town Clerk.

As a registered voter, what do I have to do?

If your registration is current, your ballot packet will automatically be mailed to you. Inside the packet you will find the ballot, a secrecy envelope and a return envelope. Once you vote the ballot, place it in the secrecy envelope and seal it in the pre-addressed return envelope. Be sure to sign the return envelope on the appropriate line. After verifying that the return envelope has your name and current address, simply return the ballot either by mail or at Frisco Town Hall.

When are the ballots mailed to the voters?

Ballots will be mailed any time between the 22nd and 15th days before an election.

I will be out of town when ballots are mailed. How do I get a ballot?

Absentee ballots are available before the election. You may request an absentee ballot from your election official either in-person by visiting the Town Clerk’s office at Frisco Town Hall, by mail (Attn: Town Clerk, PO Box 4100, Frisco, CO 80443), or by fax (970-668-0677), no later than 5:00 pm on the Friday preceding the election. You will need to include your name, residence address and, if different, your mailing address.

For municipal elections, the Frisco Town Clerk is the Designated Election Official. For Federal, State, and County Elections, the Summit County Clerk is the Designated Election Official.

More absentee ballot information

An application for an absentee ballot may be submitted as early as 90 days prior to an election, but no later than the close of business on the Friday before the election. Applications for absentee ballots can be obtained at the Frisco Town Clerk’s office, 1 Main Street, Frisco. A registered elector of the town need not meet special criteria to obtain an absentee ballot. The absentee ballot application must be personally signed by the applicant.

When do ballots have to be returned?

All ballots, including absentee ballots, must be mailed back to the Town of Frisco in time to be counted prior to 7:00pm Election Day or dropped into the ballot box in the Town Hall vestibule, which may be accessed from the front of Frisco Town Hall, located at 1 Main Street 24 hours a day.

Please be mindful of other voters and do not enter the vestibule with anyone other than someone from your immediate household, so as to respect safe social/physical distancing.

How much will it cost?

Mailed ballots must have sufficient postage. Postage is estimated at 55 cents for this year’s ballot, so long as other documentation is not included in the envelope.
