Buescher delivers “Top 10 in 2010”

Denver, October 26, 2010 – With a week left in the election, Secretary of State Bernie Buescher provided the following 10 reminders for voters:

1. Just because you received a mail ballot for the primary, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically receive one for the November election, unless you’re a permanent mail voter. Check your status at GoVoteColorado.com.
2. After Friday, don’t put your mail ballot in the mail. Hand deliver it to a drop-off location. Ballots returned after 7:00 pm on Election Day will not be counted.
3. Sign the back of your return envelope for your mail ballot.
4. Review your paper ballot for stray marks or mistakes before casting it. If necessary, request a replacement ballot from your county clerk.
5. Make sure you have proper identification with you when voting at the polls.
6. Don’t expect to make your mind up in the voting booth. Come prepared with a list or sample ballot of how you will be voting.
7. Don’t wear anything referencing a candidate, ballot issue or your party affiliation at the polls.
8. Don’t discuss a candidate or ballot issue within 100 feet of your polling location.
9. Find out where your polling location is before Election Day by going to GoVoteColorado.com.
10. Cast a provisional ballot if you do not appear on the voter rolls. All provisional ballots are entered into the official count after they are verified.
