Avondale, Colorado Public Records

The voter registration deadline is 22 days before any election for mail or online registration, though Colorado also allows Election Day registration in person at voter service and polling centers. To register, individuals must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and Colorado residents for at least 22 days. Acceptable identification includes a Colorado driver's license or identification card number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Because the community is unincorporated and has no municipal government, there are no city council or mayoral elections specific to the area. Local residents vote in Pueblo County Commissioner elections (three commissioners elected from districts), Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder, Pueblo County Sheriff, Pueblo County Assessor, Pueblo County Treasurer, Pueblo County Coroner, and Pueblo County Surveyor. The area is located within Colorado State House District 46 and Colorado State Senate District 3, and residents vote for representatives in the Colorado General Assembly. At the federal level, this community is part of Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. Colorado is an all-mail ballot state; every registered voter automatically receives a mail ballot approximately 18-22 days before each election. Voters can return ballots by mail (postage-free), at 24-hour drop boxes located throughout Pueblo County (including one at the Clerk and Recorder's Office), or in person at voter service and polling centers. To find ballot drop box locations and voter service centers, residents can visit https://www.pueblo.us/1093/Elections or call (719) 583-6620. The state's election records are highly transparent; voter registration lists (excluding confidential voters), campaign finance reports, candidate filings, and precinct-level election results are all publicly accessible. Voter registration data can be searched at https://www.sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/pub/home.xhtml, and campaign finance disclosures are available at https://tracer.sos.colorado.gov/. Local ballot measures may also appear, including mill levy questions for special districts serving the area such as fire protection and water districts. Absentee and mail-in ballots in Colorado are one and the same, as all registered voters receive mail ballots automatically. Military and overseas voters can access ballots electronically through the Federal Voting Assistance Program portal and return them by mail, email, or fax under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).
