SOME COLORADO VOTING REGULATIONS
and
CLEAR CREEK COUNTY REGISTRATION LISTS

Individuals could not vote if they had been in a duel, were insane or had been convicted of treason, felony or bribery – unless they had been restored their civil rights. (Act approved Nov. 6th 1861, revised statutes, Ch. 28) Voters could not wager upon the results of any election. No Nergo or Mulatto was allowed to vote until after the Civil War. To vote an individual must have resided at least ten days in the township, ward or precinct in which they desired to vote for township or precinct officers. Only white male citizens of the US could vote and must to the best of their belief, have attained the age of 21. 

For the Clear Creek County Colorado voters of 1861 please see the Foothills Genealogical Society Inquirer, Fall issue, 2011. 

The voting records for 1861 and the 1865 voters listed here are located at Denver Public Library, Western History manuscript collection C MSS WH71. Not all precincts and not all years survive. The Judges and Clerks for each Precinct are listed with each precinct. Candidates for office with tally sheets listing who voted for whom are available for the early years.

Note: The original record on some of Mill City Sep. 1865 voter list has torn edges that removed parts of names.
