Mail-in ballot confusion rampant

The all-mail August primary created an unprecedented amount of confusion with voters who assumed a November 2 ballot would arrive in their mailbox. Get a clue: If a ballot hasn't been delivered, it's not coming. But you can still vote. And in this tight, tight election, every vote could really count.

Rich Coolidge, spokesman for the Secretary of State, says an unusually high number of voters were confused by the August primary, which was an automatic mail-in vote in most Colorado counties. After that, Colorado returned to business as usual -- which means registered voters only get mail-in ballots if they request one for a specific election.

And even if you actually requested a mail-in ballot that never arrived, you can still vote in person today. At your polling place, you'll get a provisional ballot -- which will be counted after the county clerk determines that you haven't already voted by mail.     More -
