Broomfield voters are served by the Broomfield County Clerk and Recorder's Elections Division, located at One DesCombes Drive, Broomfield, CO 80020 (phone: 303-464-5857, website: broomfield.org/elections). Colorado residents can register to vote online at GoVoteColorado.gov, the Secretary of State's voter registration portal, up to and including Election Day, though registration must be completed by the close of regular business hours on the Monday before Election Day to receive a mail ballot. The state operates under an all-mail ballot system, meaning every registered active voter automatically receives a mail ballot approximately 18-22 days before each election. Voters can return ballots by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day), at 24-hour secure drop boxes located throughout the community, or at Voter Service and Polling Centers. Broomfield municipal elections for mayor and city council are held in odd-numbered years, with the next regular municipal election scheduled for November 2025. The mayor serves a four-year term, and council members serve staggered four-year terms. Because the city operates as a consolidated city-county, residents vote in both municipal and county elections simultaneously. Local voters can find their assigned Voter Service and Polling Center locations (which are available for in-person voting and same-day registration during the two weeks before and on Election Day) at broomfield.org/elections or by checking their voter registration at GoVoteColorado.gov. Colorado's public election records include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance disclosures (searchable at tracer.sos.colorado.gov), candidate filings, and precinct-by-precinct election results, all accessible through the county clerk or Secretary of State. In the November 2024 presidential election, Broomfield County recorded approximately 54,000 ballots cast from roughly 58,000 active registered voters, representing approximately 93% turnout, consistent with Colorado's nation-leading mail ballot participation rates. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature Colorado's gubernatorial race (Governor Jared Polis's term expires in 2027, so the election will be November 2026), all Colorado state House of Representatives seats (serving two-year terms), half of the state Senate (serving staggered four-year terms), Colorado's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Michael Bennet (term expires 2029, so not up in 2026), and all of Colorado's U.S. House seats including Broomfield's district. County-level positions including Broomfield County Commissioners, Clerk and Recorder, Treasurer, and other county officers will also be on the ballot depending on term schedules. Local voters will also decide on state and local ballot measures, which may include tax questions, bond issues, and charter amendments. Colorado allows no-excuse absentee voting through its universal mail ballot system; voters who need a replacement ballot can request one online, by phone, or in person at the Elections Division.
