NEWS RELEASE
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF BOULDER COUNTY
*************************
WHAT: "Election Security: How Colorado's Gold-Standard Election System Works, and Why Voters Can Trust Election Results." A Community Conversation sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Boulder County (LWVBC).
WHERE: Virtual event. Register (free) on the LWVBC website to receive the Zoom link.
WHEN: Oct. 26, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
WHO: Guest presenters are Hilary Rudy, Deputy Director of Elections, Colorado Department of State; and Molly Fitzpatrick, Boulder County Clerk
WHY: Elections are one of the most fundamental elements of our democracy. Mistrust in election systems -- exacerbated by misinformation and disinformation about the 2020 national election -- may erode trust or reduce engagement in the voting process itself. Fortunately Colorado is recognized nationally as having a gold-standard election system and a high voting rate. Locally, Boulder County's election system has many positive features to ensure accuracy and accountability.
With the November 2 voting day fast approaching, this event will enable Boulder County residents to learn about our state and local election systems, ask questions of officials overseeing these systems, and help build trust and confidence in the voting process.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization with a mission to empower voters and defend democracy.
