Boulder County Elections wants you to be an Election Champion!

As a trusted friend or neighbor, you can help answer people’s questions about elections – and we’ll train you. You don’t need to be an expert today to become an Election Champion this fall!

Boulder County Elections offers Election Champion Workshops to provide community members with accurate, reliable information about how elections are administered and how federal changes can affect local election processes. Consider these as an Elections 2.0 type of training, which will provide additional context about federal election activity, its potential impact on local election administration, and where to find reliable information if things change.

Election Champion Workshops begin this week. Students - ask teachers for extra credit to attend! Food provided. Space limited.

Do you have family and friends who live in other states? Many states have registration deadlines happening in the next few days. So NOW is time to ask them if they are registered to vote. If they are, you can also encourage them to check their registration to make sure they are all set to vote in the 2026 General Election.

It's always a great idea to check your own registration and encourage friends and family here in Colorado to check theirs, too. The good news is Colorado doesn't have a registration deadline, so folks can register and vote until Vote Centers close at 7 p.m. on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 3).

Find an out-of-state registration deadline:

Find the Secretary of State's office in another state (to register or check registration):
https://www.vote.gov

Register to vote or check your voter registration in Colorado:

Already getting SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, or TANF? You could also get up to $4,473 per child or dependent in Colorado state tax money — without affecting your benefits.

SimpleFile is free and takes 15 minutes or less. Apply by November 16: simplefilecolorado.org/bchs
