Boulder County, CO – The Boulder County Elections Division will conduct a logic and accuracy test beginning on Tuesday, June 2 on ballots and the voting system/equipment to be used for the 2026 June Statewide Primary Election.

The test ensures voting system equipment properly tabulates votes. Each type of ballot and all ballot styles will be tested to verify they are properly printed and read by the scanning equipment. The test will also confirm that scanning equipment settings are properly calibrated for the ballots. Open to the public* but RSVP is requested due to space limitations.

The League of Women Voters of Colorado Condemns Governor Polis's Commutation of Tina Peters's Sentence

The League of Women Voters of Colorado (LWVCO) holds an unwavering belief in representative government and the fundamental liberties enshrined in the United States Constitution — including the right of every citizen to free, fair, and secure elections. It is precisely because of these convictions that we are deeply troubled by Governor Polis's decision to commute the sentence of Tina Peters.

Today's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — a critical and sacred civil rights protection that has long served as a cornerstone of fair representation in American democracy. We are deeply alarmed by its consequences, not only for Louisiana and the South, but for communities of color across our nation.

he Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announced a new “I Voted” digital stickercompetition today open to all Colorado high school students.

“The digital ‘I Voted’ sticker is an opportunity for high school students across Colorado to engage with our democracy and show off their artistic skills,” said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “I’m excited to see the designs Colorado high schoolers will come up with to encourage voter participation amongst voters!”

Modeled after the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Sentiments made an argument for equality by rewriting the idea that “all men are created equal,” to insisting that all men and women are created equal. The Declaration defined 16 grievances relating to voting, civil independence, leadership, and economic injustice. Women’s inability to vote topped the list of complaints, and became the cornerstone of the women’s rights movement for over seven decades. The Declaration’s wider demands have echoed for more than 175 years.

We held our election season kickoff meeting and member mixer on August 21 at the Boulder Junkyard Social club, and as you can see from these pictures, it was a huge success.
