El Paso County issued the following announcement on Oct. 29.
The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office opened 14 more Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPC), on Friday, October 30, adding to the eight VSPCs already operating. This weekend 22 VSPC locations opened Saturday, October 31, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. The Clerk’s Office encourages voters who are needing in-person services to utilize Saturday hours in advance of Election Day.
On Monday, November 2, an additional 13 VSPCs opened, bringing the total to 35 locations. Hours of operation on 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on November 2 and Election Day, November 3.
“We want to ensure voters are unencumbered in seeking services they need to vote and have strategically located VSPCs throughout the county,” said Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman. “If necessary, to visit a VSPC voters are urged to do so now and avoid anticipated long lines. We also encourage voters to vote their mail ballot from the safety of their home and return at a 24/7 drop box.”
Voters should be aware that the primary purposes of a Voter Center are to:
- register new voters
- update voter registrations
- issue a replacement ballot
- issue a ballot to a voter who did not receive one in the mail
- offer ADA ballot marking devices for individuals with disabilities
The Clerk’s branch offices closed for motor vehicle, driver’s license and recording services on Monday, November 2 and Election Day, November 3. All the branch offices will be open as Voter Service and Polling Centers and provided only voting services on those two days.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, voters are encouraged to utilize their mail ballot and vote in the safety and security of their home, to help safeguard the well-being of the electorate and staff. Voters seeking in-person service asked to abide by COVID-19 safety precautions to receive services.
