Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law Friday mandating that election officials bring voting services to county detention centers and jails for statewide general elections. The statewide program is the first of its kind, as only a handful of prisons around the country currently offer in-person voting to eligible residents.
There will also be a way for eligible voters to return mail ballots, should they prefer to cast their ballot that way. County staff will serve as poll workers, and the legislation also ensures that election officials have access to Department of Corrections data to ensure that those serving time for felony convictions cannot cast a ballot.
