More than 2.5 million Coloradans had returned their ballots as of 11 a.m. Tuesday — or 64% of all active registered voters, according to an update from the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.

In Larimer County, about 177,000 people had cast their ballots as of the early morning voter count release, according to the Larimer County elections website. That’s slightly higher than the state’s turnout rate, at 65% of all active registered voters.

But if the participation rate ultimately turns out to be close to that of the last presidential election, there are still many ballots to be counted.

In 2020, Colorado’s turnout rate was 87%. If it’s the same this year, we can expect 900,000 more people to vote today before polls close at 7 p.m.

In 2020, Larimer County’s turnout rate was 89%. If we reach that number this year, that means at least 60,000 additional ballots should be received today.

Monday was by far the most popular day for early voting in Larimer County. More than 22,000 ballots were received that day, almost double that of any previous day.

Democrats and Republicans still lead unaffiliated voters when it comes to who turns in their ballots. In Larimer County, 50% of voters are unaffiliated, but only 45% of votes cast came from them.

It remains to be seen whether they will catch up before the polls close.

You can check wait times for voter services and voting centers online. As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, the Colorado State University center had the highest wait time — 27 minutes — with about 116 people waiting. Many other centers reported no wait times.

See the full list on the Larimer County website.

With less than six hours until polls close at 7 p.m., Larimer County is reporting 65% turnout so far. More than 176,000 ballots were cast, according to a tracker on the county website.

A steady turnout of voters greeted election officials Tuesday morning at the elections office and voting center at the Lory Student Center on Colorado State University’s main campus.

Among those who voted was Eleanor Larson, 21, of Washington, D.C., who voted for the first time.

“I feel lucky to have voted in this election,” she said after casting her vote. “I think this election is extremely important. It’s very enriching and I feel like I’m finally an adult. I have a say in who our president will be.

Gary Schwartz has worked in elections for the past 12 years. He served as election supervisor at the Lory Student Center on Tuesday, where he participated in his first election in 2012.

“Yesterday afternoon was extremely busy,” he said. “We had to wait in the lobby. Probably 20-30 people in line at any given time. We have extra staff today only and so far for the first two and a half hours we are ready to go with no lines.
