Student Voter Guide

Colorado residents going to college out of state:

If you are temporarily living out of state, you may wish to register to vote (or stay registered to vote) in Colorado so that you remain a resident of Colorado for motor vehicle registration/operation and income tax purposes.

Be sure to update your voter registration with your current mailing address so your ballot can find you.

Colorado residents going to college in Colorado in a different county:

You may either register to vote (or keep your voter registration) at your hometown address or re-register in the jurisdiction where you are attending school.  However, your voter registration address determines some of the content you will see on your ballot.

Out-of-state students going to college in Colorado:

You may choose either to register to vote (or stay registered to vote) in your home state or register in Colorado. To register in Colorado, you must be a resident for at least 22 days before the election.

If you choose to register in Colorado, you will be considered a resident of Colorado for motor vehicle registration and operation purposes and for income tax purposes.
