Colorado HB1080 mandates the use of a team of bipartisan election judges for mail ballot signature verification.

Colorado HB1080 requires county clerks and recorders to use a team of bipartisan election judges to review mail ballots for signature verification. This team must follow specific procedures if the signature on the self-affirmation does not match the signature stored in the statewide voter registration system. The bill also allows the use of signature verification devices to compare signatures. If a device cannot determine a match, two additional election judges of different political affiliations must compare the signatures.
