Voter Rolls Clean Up
How you can help clean up Colorado voter rolls:
The following is provided by the Colorado Republican Party Election Integrity Team and the Denver County Republican Party.
All Colorado voters should follow this process for any mail ballots that arrive for someone who does not reside at a residence where they live, work, or receive mail. This process applies to voters who are:
- Deceased
- Adult children that have moved away
- Previous residents and/or tenants that no longer live at an address
- Former residents that no longer reside at a health facility, group home, rehabilitation center
- Dorm residents or college students no longer living at that location
- Any mail ballot that goes to an address where a voter does not currently reside or receive mail
Carefully follow these steps for mail ballots that arrive at your residence for voters that do not reside there and/or receive mail there.
Step 1: Leave the mail ballot envelope sealed. DO NOT open. DO NOT throw it away. DO NOT tear it up. NEVER forward it.
Step 2: Write directly on the mail ballot envelope: “Return to Sender – Undeliverable.” For voters who have passed away, write: “Return to Sender – Deceased – Undeliverable” DO NOT write over the voter’s name, address, or the barcode. DO NOT write on any mail that is sent to addresses other than your own address(es) – very important!
Step 3: Place the ballot envelope in a U.S Postal Service (USPS) mailbox. No postage is needed.
Note: DO NOT place in drop off boxes, but only in a USPS mail box. DO NOT return it to the Clerk & Recorder’s office, take it to a polling location, or drop off at ANY other location. It is very important it goes back through USPS and is marked “undeliverable” to trigger the appropriate process.
Write down the voter’s name and/or take a photo of the mail ballot envelope with “undeliverable” on it when you send it back in through USPS.
Send us an email showing you followed these steps, and giving us the person’s name, the address and why it was undeliverable to chairman@denvergop.org and send it to our GOP Voter Integrity Team at voterrollcleanupco@gmail.com.
Step 4: Encourage others to check their voter registration at govotecolorado.gov and to track their ballot by signing up for BallotTrax at ballottrax.com.
