The Colorado Secretary of State also has an online tool, BallotTrax, which voters can use to track their ballots both as they are being mailed out and as they are counted. Election officials across the state can begin counting mail-in ballots starting Oct. 21.

Either way, ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5. If you're mailing your ballot, the Secretary of State recommends doing so by Oct. 28 to ensure it arrives in time.
