To register to vote, you need:
Basic identification information
Colorado residency (established through a physical address)
While Going Through an Eviction
Facing eviction does not impact a voter’s ability to register at the address subject to eviction proceedings. An eviction proceeding impacts registration only after a voter is physically removed from their residence by the sheriff following a court order. The following stages in the eviction process require no changes to voter registration:
Receipt of a Demand for Rent or Possession
Receipt of a Summons & Complaint in Unlawful Detainer
Receipt of notice of judicial hearing
Registering Without a Fixed Permanent Home
Unhoused voters can register to vote in Colorado. For purposes of voter registration, a person experiencing housing instability can list the address of a place to which they regularly return or intend to remain. This is the voter’s home base. A home base can be any place with a physical mailing address, including:
Park
Shelter
Vacant lot
Campground
PO box
Residential facility
The purpose of providing a mailing address is to enable unhoused voters to receive ballots by mail. A voter always has the option of casting a ballot in person on Election Day regardless of their ability to receive mail, but must provide a physical mailing address to register.
