So I just retired on October 23rd, and I moved to Colorado on the 28th. I need a Colorado driver's license in order to register to vote. The DMV requires appointments for driver's licenses, and the soonest one I can get is middle of December. How do I either get a driver's license or register to vote without one?
*edit: Good news! I was able to walk in and get a Colorado driver's license. There's an apparent disconnect from the state DMV site and the individual offices. I was registered (incorrectly, as it turns out) there as well. I walked down to the voting area, and they informed me that I needed to be in the state for at least 22 days before I could cast a full ballot. I didn't have that, but I was still able to cast a provisional ballot just for the presidency. I can wait until another election to vote on marijuana laws, lol.
My mother lives in Colorado. She had an issue once and was able to go down the DMV in person and found they had an ability to make appointments that were not available online. She got an appointment for the next day.
You might try going down there, explain your situation and ask someone if they can find somewhere to slot you in. And if there is some issue giving you a driver's license, they should at least be able to give you a state ID.
