HELP LWVCO GET THE COLORADO VOTING RIGHTS ACT PASSED!

Courts have been slowly eroding federal voting rights protections for years, and the Supreme Court scrapped major parts of the Federal Voting Rights Act. If we can’t count on federal protections, Colorado can act on our own and strengthen the right to vote by passing the Colorado Voting Rights Act. We're asking League members around the state to help through personal advocacy!

Bill text: SB25-001 Colorado Voting Rights Act

This can be done in a number of ways:

1. Contact local elected officials (city or town council members, county commissioners, and county clerks) to discuss the Colorado Voting Rights Act (COVRA), let them know their constituents want it passed, and garner their support!

Here's COVRA Messaging & Talking Points to help!

2. Post on your personal social media accounts why COVRA is important and urge friends to ask their state representative and senator to vote YES!

Use the below graphics and the COVRA Messaging & Talking Points to help.

3. Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper! It's a powerful way to reach your community members. Here's three samples to choose from: Sample letters to the editor - CoVRA. 

4. Send an email to friends and family to inform them of COVRA and its importance - and urge them to ask their state representative and senator to vote YES! Sample email to friends 

THANK YOU! With your help, we'll keep Colorado as the top state for inclusive elections!
