Here's a breakdown of the biggest questions we've been getting about the upcoming election. Most importantly, this is a Polling Place election, not a mail ballot election. However, you may request a mail ballot if you can't make it to the Fairfield Center on Election Day. Please note the last day to request AND return a mail ballot is Tuesday, April 29.📬

If you have any questions about voting, eligibility, or ballots, please don’t hesitate to contact our Designated Election Official Cathy Kiser at (970)878-7417 or email cathy@erbmrec.com
