No longer are many Colorado voters confined to just one polling site when they want to cast their vote. Vote Centers are soon becoming the norm now on Election Day.

There were 47 vote centers opened in Denver on Tuesday.

"It's basically about the same. I just wish more people would come out and vote. They have that right but they don't seem to be using it," said Denver voter Anita Russell.

The ones that did had their pick of 47 vote centers, as opposed to just one of 292 polling places they were assigned to in years past.

"So if you live in Grant Ranch, you can vote in Green Valley Ranch. If you live in southeast Denver, you can vote in southwest Denver. It's just a matter of the preference of the voter, " said Alton Dillard, with the Denver Election Commission.

"Oh, this was real easy. I work right downtown, so I just walked a block away so here I am," said Denver voter Beth Buckingham.

Vote centers can better handle the limited number of new touch-screen voting machines. They're also designed to accommodate disabled voters.

"I liked where I was going to school, I could walk there. Now you have to get out and drive some way to find a place to vote anymore," said voter Ruby Pauline Jackson.

A number of counties in Colorado are now using vote centers. Larimer County was one of the first counties in the state to turn to vote centers and has them for years. In fact, eight election officials from Lubbock, Texas, were in Larimer County to see how the system works and possibly explore ways to bring it back to Texas.
