Moffat voters are served by the Saguache County Clerk and Recorder, who also serves as the Designated Election Official for the county, located at 505 4th Street, P.O. Box 655, Saguache, CO 81149, phone (719) 655-2512. The County Clerk's website at www.saguachecounty.net provides election information, sample ballots, and results. Colorado residents can register to vote online at www.govotecolorado.gov, Colorado's official state voter registration portal managed by the Secretary of State. Voter registration deadlines are 22 days before any election for mail registration, though Colorado also offers same-day registration in person at voter service and polling centers through Election Day. Voters must provide a valid Colorado driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number; proof of residency is required. Colorado is a vote-by-mail state—all active registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot approximately 18-22 days before each election. Ballots can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), deposited in 24-hour drop boxes located throughout the county (listed on the County Clerk's website), or voted in person at voter service and polling centers. Because Moffat is unincorporated, there are no municipal elections for mayor or town council; residents vote in federal, state, and county elections. Saguache County elections include county commissioners (three members elected to staggered four-year terms), county clerk and recorder, county treasurer, county assessor, county sheriff, county coroner, and county surveyor, typically on a rotating schedule. Moffat voters are assigned to a polling location and precinct by the County Clerk; residents can look up their specific polling place, ballot, and voter registration status at www.govotecolorado.gov by entering their name and date of birth. Election records that are public in Colorado under C.R.S. § 1-2-227 include voter registration lists (available for purchase by campaigns and parties for political purposes), precinct-level election results, campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State, and candidate filings. Individual voter history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted) is also public. In the November 2024 general election, Saguache County reported voter turnout of approximately 72% of active registered voters, slightly above the statewide average, reflecting high engagement in the presidential election. On November 3, 2026, Moffat and Saguache County voters will participate in the gubernatorial midterm election. Colorado will elect a Governor (four-year term), all statewide constitutional officers (Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer), the U.S. Senate seat held by Michael Bennet (who will be up for re-election in 2028, not 2026; note that 2026 will not feature a Colorado U.S. Senate race), all members of the Colorado House of Representatives (65 seats, two-year terms), half of the Colorado State Senate (17-18 seats, four-year terms, staggered), and various county offices depending on the election cycle. Saguache County voters will also decide on county commissioner seats, and potentially local ballot measures regarding county taxes or land use. Absentee and mail-in ballots are the standard voting method in Colorado; all voters receive ballots by mail and can also request replacement ballots or vote in person at voter service centers beginning 15 days before the election. The Saguache County Clerk's Office posts sample ballots, polling center locations, and election calendars on the county website and through mailings to registered voters.
