Extra Care Being Taken with Weld County Ballots
Election Officials Making Sure
Every Weld County Ballot is Counted
ProVote Solutions, the Denver Post Office and Weld County Elections staff are working together to make sure a bar code error doesn’t delay some Weld County Ballots. The post office is hand-processing the ballots to make sure a printer error in the bar code on the return envelope does not cause a problem.
“Our job is to make sure every vote is counted,” said Weld County Clerk and Recorder Carly Koppes. “We are working closely with our vendor and the postal service and already have in place a solution to make sure all ballots are routed correctly to the election office.”
Koppes said she was made aware of the issue when she was contacted by a representative from the United States Postal Service (USPS). She reached out to the printing firm handling the mailing, which confirmed that the bar code had a zip code issue.
As a resolution to the zip code issue, ballot return envelopes will be isolated at the post office and the Weld County Elections Office will pick them up so there is no delay.
Notwithstanding the barcode error, Koppes said the USPS will get the mailed ballots delivered to the election office. If voters have concerns, however, Koppes encourages voters to use one of the fourteen (14) 24-hour drop boxes. Please refer to the voting instructions or visit www.weldvotes.com to use Weld’s interactive map to find the closest 24-hour drop box to you.
Starting Oct. 28, three Voter Service and Polling Centers will open. Currently, all 24-hour drop boxes are open. The ballot includes two statewide questions along with local candidates and questions.
The election is November 5th Weld County currently has 182,906 active registered voters.
