Since the last election, a growing number of Colorado voters appear to be getting more comfortable with the online process.
"When we originally rolled out online voter registration in 2010, we saw a lot of young people using the system," says spokesman Rich Coolidge. "Now everyone’s using the system."
About 30 percent of activity on GoVoteColorado.com is now coming from the mobile version, Coolidge says. Besides registering to vote, smartphone or tablet users can also request and track mail ballots, or find their polling locations.
Colorado voters who want to participate in this November's election must be registered by Oct. 9th.
