If you still need to register to vote:

In Colorado, you can register to vote at GoVoteColorado.gov and receive your ballot in the mail up to Oct. 26. You must update your voter registration each time you move!

After Oct. 26, you’ll need to visit a Vote Center to register to vote, where you can receive your mail ballot or vote in-person up to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
If you live or go to school in Colorado, are at least 18 years old as of Election Day, and are a citizen of the U.S., you have the right to register to vote and vote in Colorado, even if your permanent address is in another state. You can only vote in one state, so pick the one that makes the most sense for your situation.

To register in your home state visit this link, or reach out to the Elections Office in your home state.
