Wiggins voters are served by the Morgan County Clerk and Recorder's Office, which functions as the county's election authority. The office is located at 231 Ensign Street, Suite 101, Fort Morgan, CO 80701, phone (970) 542-3521, website www.co.morgan.co.us/clerk. Colorado residents can register to vote online through the Colorado Secretary of State's portal at www.govotecolorado.gov, which allows new registration and updates to existing records. Voters must register or update their registration by the close of registration before each election—29 days before Election Day for mail ballot registration, though Colorado also offers same-day registration during the early voting period and on Election Day itself at voter service centers. Valid identification such as a Colorado driver's license or ID card is required for online registration; those without can register in person or by mail with alternative ID. Wiggins holds municipal elections for Town Board of Trustees positions; the Town Board consists of a mayor and six trustees, with staggered terms. Municipal elections in Wiggins are typically held in April of odd-numbered years (2025, 2027, etc.), coordinated through the Morgan County Clerk. Candidate filings, local ballot measures, and election information specific to the Town of Wiggins can be obtained from the Town Clerk at (970) 483-7346 or from the County Clerk's election division. To find their assigned polling location or voter service center, Wiggins residents can use the online polling place lookup tool at www.govotecolorado.gov by entering their address, or contact the Morgan County Clerk. Colorado is a vote-by-mail state; all active registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot approximately 18-22 days before each election. Voters can return mail ballots by U.S. mail (postmarked by Election Day), or deposit them in secure 24-hour ballot drop boxes located throughout Morgan County, including at the County Administration Building in Fort Morgan and at the Wiggins Town Hall during election periods. In-person voting is also available at voter service centers during the early voting period and on Election Day. Election records that are public in Colorado include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes under C.R.S. § 1-2-227), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at www.tracer.sos.colorado.gov), candidate filings and declarations, and precinct-level election results. In the November 2024 general election, Morgan County reported approximately 60-65% voter turnout, consistent with Colorado's strong participation in presidential election years. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Wiggins and Morgan County voters will decide several important races. Colorado's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Michael Bennet is not up for election in 2026, but Colorado's other Senate seat may be contested depending on the cycle; the Governor's race is also not scheduled for 2026 as gubernatorial elections occur in midterm years divisible by four (2022, 2026, 2030). Morgan County voters will likely decide races for U.S. House of Representatives (Colorado's 4th Congressional District, which includes Wiggins), Colorado State Senate District 1, Colorado State House District 63, county commissioners for Morgan County, county clerk and recorder, county sheriff, county assessor, county treasurer, and possibly county coroner depending on the election cycle. School board positions for Wiggins School District RE-50J may also appear on the ballot. Specific candidates and ballot measures will be finalized in summer 2026 following the candidate filing period.
