Do you feel confident you can easily find where and how to vote in your area?
Just Vote Colorado operated an election protection call center and command center on Election Day, with volunteer attorneys answering calls from voters across the state. Callers asked about registration, finding a voting place and ballot issues as call volume rose through the day.
Why it matters
Colorado has a long ballot in many counties this year, which can make voting harder to navigate for some residents. The call center and command center aim to make voting as accessible as possible and to respond to voter intimidation or other concerns affecting communities.
The call center is operated by the Colorado Lawyers Committee and has grown over the years into a widely recognized resource. Nonpartisan Colorado Common Cause volunteers across the state also reported concerns to the command center, though no total number of reports was given.
