Background

Colorado currently allows individuals to register to vote at various locations and by mail at any time up to 29 days before an election. A person is eligible to register to vote if he or she is a U.S. citizen, is eighteen years old at the time of the election, and is a resident of Colorado and the precinct in which he or she will vote for at least 30 days before the election. A person who is already registered to vote in Colorado and who moved but failed to re-register at the new address may re-register at any time, including election day, at a county clerk's office. Individuals who have registered but whose names do not appear on the list of registered voters at the polling place may go to the county clerk's office to verify their registration and vote on election day.

This proposal allows citizens to register and vote on election day by presenting valid identification at their precinct polling place or county clerk's office. Valid identification includes either a Colorado driver license, state identification card, or other documentation approved by state election officials.

The proposal applies to all elections including primary, general, special district, and municipal elections. The legislature is directed to enact necessary laws to protect against voter fraud.[1]
