Across Colorado, ballots were mailed out yesterday for the upcoming November election.

We want to ensure our next generation of leaders on the Western Slope have a voice in this election and our Grassroots Democracy Interns have worked tirelessly to register their peers to vote. Over the past few months they have registered hundreds of students across three counties.

Colorado election law requires we take a break from registering voters once ballots have been mailed out, so now our students are turning their attention to encouraging everyone who is now registered to vote this year! They recognize voting information isn’t always easy to find, so they made a video to give us some hints. Check it out above – or click here to share their video on Facebook!
