Several Arapahoe County facilities will be closed to the public Nov. 8 Election Day, with the exception of election-related services.
The Board of County Commissioners approved the Election Day closure of the Administration Building in Littleton, CentrePoint Plaza in Aurora and Lima Plaza campus in Centennial at the request of Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane. These facilities will operate only as Voter Service and Polling Centers and ballot drop-off locations from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. In addition, all Clerk and Recorder branches will be closed Nov. 8, and will reopen to the public at 10 a.m., Nov. 9.
These closures are intended to free up parking spaces for voters and enable employees to assist with Election Day, when voter turnout is expected to be high. County employees at these facilities will report to work as scheduled and may be called upon to help with election tasks if necessary.
