Rule 8 CCR 1505-1-22 - Use of approved and recommended election forms
22.1 Where the Secretary of State issues an approved election form, notice, application, or correspondence, all designated election officials and registration offices must use the approved form.
22.1.1 A designated election official or registration office that wishes to substantively modify the content of any form approved by the Secretary of State must submit a written request via email to the Secretary of State's office stating the requested modification and the reasons it is needed.
(a) The Secretary of State will approve or deny a request to modify an approved form within five business days. Failure of the Secretary of State to issue a decision within five business days does not constitute an approval of the request. If the modification request is denied, the Secretary of State will explain the reason for denying the request.
(b) A non-substantive customization of an approved form, such as placing the form on county letterhead or language translation, does not require the Secretary of State's approval.
22.2 The Secretary of State will approve standard voter registration and ballot application forms for use by political parties and organizations that provide such forms to the public. The Secretary of State will publish on the department's website the current approved registration forms.
22.2.1 Political parties and organizations may also use the National Mail Voter Registration form. Because the forms approved by the Secretary of State contain all information specifically required by Colorado law, the applicants and the organization are afforded greater protection by distributing or using the state forms approved by the Secretary of State.
22.2.2 All political parties and organizations that conduct a mass mailing of either registration or ballot request forms to the public must identify themselves by printing the organization name and contact information on the form.
22.2.3 Any political party or organization may contact the Secretary of State before sending a mailing to request a review of the form and information to be mailed.
22.3 Under section 1-1-107(2)(d), C.R.S., the Secretary of State will seek injunctive action or other remedies for violations of this Rule.
22.4 If an elector's eligibility to vote at a precinct caucus cannot be verified upon examination of the list of registered electors, the elector must complete the Secretary of State's approved form attesting to the elector's eligibility.
