RESIDENCY INFORMATION

---

When applied to voter registration, the term residence generally means the principal or primary home or place in which a person lives. A residence is a permanent building or part of a building and may include a house, apartment, condominium, room in a house, mobile home, or building.

On voter registration forms, your residential address means the address that verifies you are a resident of El Paso County. Your mailing address is the address where you want to receive your mail ballot for the upcoming election.

An elector who has no fixed permanent address may use any address that he or she considers a “home base” where the elector regularly returns to and has the intent to remain. You must provide a legal residence or “home base” to register to vote. Once that residence is established, it exists until a new residence is established. But you may not have more than one legal residence.

If you are an El Paso County resident, but are a student at a university or college outside of El Paso County, please be sure to update your mailing address as soon as possible to reflect the best address for you to receive your mail ballot.

It is unlawful for any person to procure a false voter registration. A violation could result in a fine of up to $5,000, or imprisonment in the county jail for up to 18 months, or both.

Any person who votes in an election knowing that they are not entitled to vote commits a class 5 felony.
