Almont, Colorado Public Records

As an unincorporated town, Almont relies on the Gunnison County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services.

Almont voters are served by the Gunnison County Clerk and Recorder, Elections Division, located at 200 East Virginia Avenue, Suite 110, Gunnison, CO 81230. The office can be reached at (970) 641-1516, and election information is available at www.gunnisonco.gov/clerk. Colorado is a universal mail ballot state, meaning all registered voters automatically receive mail ballots for every election. Almont residents can register to vote online through the Colorado Secretary of State at GoVoteColorado.gov, which allows new registrations and updates to existing registrations. Colorado offers same-day voter registration, allowing eligible residents to register and vote simultaneously through Election Day. Voters need a Colorado driver's license or ID card to register online; those without can register by mail or in person with alternate identification. As an unincorporated community, Almont has no municipal government and therefore no city council or mayoral elections. Residents vote in Gunnison County elections for county commissioners (three-member board elected to staggered four-year terms), sheriff, clerk and recorder, treasurer, assessor, coroner, and surveyor. Almont voters can find their specific polling place and ballot drop-box locations by entering their address at GoVoteColorado.gov or by contacting the County Clerk. While Colorado is a mail ballot state, in-person voting centers are available during the early voting period (typically beginning 15 days before Election Day) and on Election Day itself at the Gunnison County Courthouse. In the November 2024 presidential election, Gunnison County reported approximately 71% voter turnout, with 7,856 ballots cast out of 11,089 active registered voters, reflecting Colorado's consistently high participation rates. On November 3, 2026, Almont and Gunnison County voters will decide several significant races. At the federal level, Colorado's U.S. Senate Class II seat will be on the ballot (currently held by a senator whose term expires in January 2027). Statewide, all four of Colorado's constitutional officers elected in 2022 will not be on the ballot in 2026, but state legislative seats for Colorado House of Representatives (all 65 seats) and half of the Colorado Senate will be contested. Locally, Gunnison County will hold elections for County Commissioner District positions, as commissioners serve four-year staggered terms. Depending on the cycle, positions such as County Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor, Sheriff, or Coroner may also appear on the ballot. To request an absentee or replacement mail ballot, voters should contact the Gunnison County Clerk at (970) 641-1516 or request online through GoVoteColorado.gov. Ballots can be returned by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day), deposited in 24-hour drop boxes located throughout the county including at the Gunnison courthouse, or delivered in person to voting centers.
