如果 2020 年的投票率保持不变，选举官员预计需要清点的选票将超过 300 万张 

Denver — Colorado voters have until 7 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 5, to cast a ballot in person or to hand return their mail ballot to a drop box or a Voter Service and Polling Center for the 2024 presidential election. As voters head to the polls, Colorado Common Cause is reminding the public that it may take several days for election officials to finalize results.

“在这次选举中，让每个人的声音都被听到至关重要，这意味着要计算每一张选票，” 科罗拉多州共同事业组织执行董事 Aly Belknap. “It takes time to count every vote accurately and that’s why election night is not results night. A slow count isn’t a problem, it’s a virtue. It means elections officials are doing everything they can to count every ballot fairly and accurately.”

在选举官员开始计票之前，他们必须先处理选票，包括检查信封外面的声明是否由选民签名，以及签名是否与档案上的签名相符。如果选民的签名缺失或与档案上的签名不符，选举官员必须通知该选民并给他们机会“解决”问题。所有这些步骤都需要时间。

科罗拉多州是 10 个州 允许选举工作人员在选举日之前开始处理和计票。

“Even though we may not know the election winners when we go to bed, what matters most is making sure every eligible voter’s ballot is counted accurately,” added Belknap. 

2020 年，科罗拉多州有 87% 选民参加了投票，超过 已投出 300 万张选票. If voter turnout numbers hold, Colorado can expect to see similar numbers again in this year’s presidential election.
