With so much on the ballot, Birkeland's advice for voters is to "just take your time, take a few days, have your coffee, you know, just find what works for you."
County clerks must mail ballots to active voters by Oct. 9. Voters can check their registration, track their ballot and find a drop box at GoVoteColorado.gov.
