Fax Your Colorado Ballot From Overseas
Colorado takes a faxed ballot only when a more secure method, such as mail, is not available or feasible for you.
Colorado lets any military or overseas voter return a voted ballot by fax or email, waiving the right to a secret ballot; Election Rule 16.2.1(c) allows fax or email return only when the voter reasonably determines that a more secure method, such as mail, is not available or feasible. Source

What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
A Colorado voter who returns a ballot by fax or email returns it with a signed self-affirmation that, under Election Rule 16.2.3, carries the UOCAVA standard oath, the voter's name, date of birth, and signature, and a statement waiving the right to a secret ballot; the county sends it with the ballot packet, and the rule names no separate form URL.
Read the state’s instructionsYour county's ballot fax
2 of 64 counties publish a ballot fax line. For the rest, call the office before you send and ask for the line.
From the Colorado directory, checked September 30, 2026.
Only if you qualify: you decide mail is not available or feasible in time.
Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
A ballot a Colorado military or overseas voter returns by fax or email must be received by the county clerk no later than 7:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Election Day; a mailed ballot may arrive by close of business on the eighth day after.

Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A ballot packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second ballot in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
To get your blank ballot by fax, you need a fax number of your own. A One-Time Fax Number is $14.99 once and receives for 90 days, with 50 pages. Starter is $4.99 a month. A ballot sent to you by email needs neither.
Questions
Can I fax my Colorado ballot from any country?
If you qualify, yes. A US fax number receives a fax the same way wherever it is sent from. Whether Colorado takes it depends on the condition at the top of this page, so read it before you send.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
Call the number in your county's row and ask for the fax line the office takes ballots on. The state's directory does not publish one for that office, and an office's general fax is not always its ballot line.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official Colorado election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Colorado's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
