An affirmation verifying knowledge of relevant regulations and accuracy of provided information must be included on voter registration forms, which registrants must sign upon completing the form. This provision provides the information that must be included in the affirmation. Falsifying any information can result in potential criminal liability.
(2) Each elector making application for registration shall make the following self-affirmation: “I, …., affirm that I am a citizen of the United States; I have been a resident of the state of Colorado for at least twenty-two days immediately prior to an election in which I intend to vote; and I am at least sixteen years old and understand that I must be eighteen years old to be eligible to vote. I further affirm that my present address as stated herein is my sole legal place of residence, that I claim no other place as my legal residence, and that I understand that I am committing a felony if I knowingly give false information regarding my place of present residence. I certify under penalty of perjury that I meet the registration qualifications; that the information I have provided on this application is true to the best of my knowledge and belief; and that I have not, nor will I, cast more than one ballot in any election.”.
