Yes.

Colorado voters who lost or damaged their ballot, or who did not receive one, can still vote at a polling place. The deadline to vote is 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5. Voters in line at their polling place by 7 p.m. that day will be allowed to cast their ballot. Visit GoVoteColorado.gov for a list of nearby polling places. 

Once someone has voted in person, the ballot previously sent to them in the mail is voided in the state voter database, helping to ensure that each voter submits no more than one ballot. 

The last day to request a replacement ballot by mail or return ballots by mail was Oct. 28. Completed ballots can still be turned in at a drop box or voting center until the 7 p.m. deadline on Election Day. Replacement mail ballots are also available at voting centers.
