Voter information cards sent to Arapahoe County registered voters
Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder�s Office has notified voters of district changes
Littleton, Colo. � Registered voters in Arapahoe County received voter information cards in the mail this week, advising them of changes to their congressional, legislative and commissioner districts and precincts. Voters do not need to take action to return the card or contact the Clerk and Recorder�s Office, unless they need to update their voting preferences, party affiliation or contact information.
�We have received a number of inquiries from interested voters about whether a response is needed after receiving their voter information cards,� said Nancy Doty, Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder. �I want to assure our voters that no response is necessary unless they�d like to make changes to their voter record.�
Voter information cards are provided for the voter�s knowledge and do not need to be brought to the polls on Election Day. Voters may return the card to make a new request for a mail-in ballot for every election, but citizens who have already done so do not need to take action and will remain on the mailing list.
The majority of registered voters in Arapahoe County will see a change to one or more of their districts or their election precinct. These changes were a result of the reapportionment of Colorado�s senatorial and representative districts that is required by law every ten years following the U.S. Census. County election precincts and commissioner districts were also redrawn as a result of these changes.
However, these changes will not affect where voters can cast a ballot in the General and Coordinated Elections because Arapahoe County is using Vote Centers, which replace precinct polling places.
The 2012 Primary Election on June 26 is anticipated to be conducted by mail-in ballot only. All active voters will automatically receive the ballots through the mail. The 2012 General Election in November will offer three options for voting. All voters who have requested to receive their ballots through the mail will automatically receive their ballots. All remaining voters may vote early or vote at one of approximately 30 Vote Centers on Election Day, Nov. 6, regardless of where they live in the County.
