Longmont, Colorado Public Records

A valid Colorado driver's license or ID card is needed for online registration, though residents can also register in person at the Elections Division office or any voter service center. As a same-day registration state, Colorado allows eligible residents to register and vote on Election Day itself. Acceptable identification includes Colorado driver's license, Colorado ID card, U.S. Passport, employee ID with photograph, utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck showing name and address. Municipal elections in the city determine the Mayor and City Council composition. The Mayor serves four-year terms, while seven City Council members serve staggered four-year terms with 3-4 seats contested every two years. These municipal elections occur in November of odd-numbered years. Candidate information, local ballot measures, and campaign finance reports are available through the City Clerk's office at longmontcolorado.gov/departments/departments-a-d/city-clerk-s-office/election-information and through the Boulder County Elections website. Residents can find their assigned polling place through the Colorado Voter Portal at govotecolorado.gov/voter-lookup or by contacting the Boulder County Elections Division. Colorado operates primarily as a mail-ballot state, with ballots automatically mailed to all active registered voters approximately 18-22 days before each election. Voters can return ballots by mail (postage-paid), drop them in 24-hour ballot drop boxes throughout Boulder County and the city, or vote in person at Voter Service and Polling Centers. Public election records in Colorado include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance disclosures through TRACER (Colorado Secretary of State's Transparency in Contribution and Expenditure Reporting system at tracer.sos.colorado.gov), candidate filings, ballot measure text and fiscal impact statements, and precinct-level election results. All election results are posted at bouldercounty.org/elections after certification. Colorado's State legislature races include all 65 Colorado House seats and approximately 18 of 35 Colorado Senate seats on rotating schedules. Boulder County voters will elect county commissioners (Districts 1 and 3 in 2026), County Clerk and Recorder, County Treasurer, County Assessor, County Sheriff, County Coroner, and District Attorney for the 20th Judicial District. State ballot measures addressing fiscal policy, education funding, or citizen initiatives may appear. The city will not have municipal races in 2026, as local elections occur in odd-numbered years. Colorado offers absentee and mail-in ballot options. All active registered voters automatically receive mail ballots for every election. Voters can request replacement ballots, update ballot delivery addresses, or opt for in-person voting at Voter Service and Polling Centers open 15 days before Election Day through Election Day. Military and overseas voters receive ballots via the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) system at fvap.gov.
