RTD to have two free fare days to encourage voter participation | 9news.com
In recognition of both National Vote Early Day and General Election Day, all
RTD services, including buses and trains, will be available at no cost on
Friday, Oct. 28 and Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold hopes the move will encourage voter
turnout in the RTD region by removing cost/opportunity barriers associated when
submitting a ballot.
“I am pleased that this year, RTD will have two zero-fare days to provide
voters another accessible way to return their ballot. I thank RTD, Colorado’s
largest transit agency, for their partnership in making it even more accessible
to vote in Colorado,” Griswold said.
Voters can find the nearest ballot drop box or voting center by visiting
GoVoteColorado.gov and by using RTD's trip planner to find the best route to
get there. Approximately 411 drop boxes and over 350 voting centers will be
available for Colorado voters to turn in their ballots.
Important information for Colorado voters:
- Coloradans can register to vote or update their voter registration at
GoVoteColorado.gov through Oct. 31 in order to receive a ballot in the mail.
