Colorado offers online voter registration through the Secretary of State's website at www.govotecolorado.gov, where eligible citizens can register or update their registration up to 8 days before an election, though same-day registration remains available through Election Day at voter service centers. Applicants need a valid Colorado driver's license or ID card number, with the online system verifying identity through the DMV database. As a universal mail ballot state, Colorado automatically sends all registered voters mail ballots for every election, typically arriving 22 days before Election Day. Voters can return ballots by mail using postage-free envelopes or deposit them in 24-hour secure ballot drop boxes located throughout Summit County, including locations in the town. For municipal elections, Dillon voters elect a Mayor and six Town Council members. The town holds regular municipal elections in April of odd-numbered years, with the next regular election scheduled for April 2025. Mayoral terms run two years while Council terms last four years with staggered elections. Candidate information, local ballot measures, and sample ballots are available through the Town of Dillon website at www.townofdillon.com and the County Elections Division. Residents can find their assigned polling place (voter service center) through the Colorado Secretary of State's website at www.govotecolorado.gov/voter-portal using the "Where & How to Vote" tool, though most voters use mail ballots rather than in-person voting. Election records in Colorado are highly transparent and publicly accessible. Voter registration lists are available for purchase for political purposes under § 1-2-227, though individual voter records can be viewed free through the Secretary of State's voter portal. Campaign finance reports for candidates and committees are searchable at www.tracer.sos.colorado.gov, showing contributions and expenditures. Candidate filings, petition signatures for ballot initiatives, and precinct-level election results are all public records available through the Summit County Clerk or Secretary of State. In the November 2024 presidential election, Summit County reported approximately 72% voter turnout with about 19,500 ballots cast from roughly 27,000 registered voters, reflecting Colorado's consistently high participation rates. For the November 3, 2026 general election, voters in the area will decide several important races. Colorado's U.S. Senate seat held by John Hickenlooper is not up in 2026 (next election 2028), but Colorado voters will elect a new Governor as Jared Polis is term-limited, all state constitutional officers including Secretary of State and Attorney General, the entire Colorado House of Representatives, half of the Colorado State Senate, Congressional representatives (Colorado's 2nd Congressional District covers Summit County), and Summit County offices including County Commissioners, Sheriff, Clerk & Recorder, Assessor, Treasurer, Coroner, and Surveyor. State legislative races will include Colorado Senate District 8 and House District 26 which represent Summit County. Absentee and mail-in voting in Colorado is automatic for all registered voters; no special application is required as all voters receive mail ballots. Military and overseas voters can register and request ballots through the Federal Voting Assistance Program, and Colorado offers electronic ballot delivery for these voters under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).
