Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) in October of 2006, Vote411.org is the "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information on the following aspects of the election process:

• Absentee ballot information
• Ballot measure information (where applicable)
• Early voting options (where applicable)
• Election dates
• Factual data on candidates in various federal, state and local races
• General information on such topics as how to watch debates with a critical eye
• ID requirements
• Polling place locations
• Registration deadlines
• Voter qualifications
• Voter registration forms
• Voting machines

An important component of Vote411.org is the polling place locator, which enables users to type in their address and retrieve the poll location for the voting precinct in which that address is located. The League has found that this is among the most sought after information in the immediate days leading up to, and on, Election Day.

Colorado Center Party Now a Minor Party in Colorado

Denver, September 6, 2023 - The Elections Division of the Secretary of State’s Office announced today that the Colorado Center Party has attained a sufficient number of registered voters to be recognized as a minor political party in Colorado. The Colorado Center Party was formerly considered a Qualified Political Organization (QPO).

A QPO is an organization that has placed a candidate for a congressional district or statewide office on the ballot at a congressional vacancy or general election. To form a QPO, officers of the QPO must:

• File proof of organization with the Secretary of State;
• Meet as an organization at least once a year; and
• Certify at least one candidate to the General Election ballot every 2 years.

A QPO may qualify as a minor political party if:

• Any of its candidates for any statewide office received at least 5% of the total votes cast for that office in either of the last 2 general elections; or
• 1,000 or more registered electors are affiliated with the QPO prior to July 1st of the election year for which the organization seeks to nominate candidates as a minor political party.

A minor political party is any political party other than a major political party. To obtain minor political party status, a minor political party must satisfy the conditions set forth in Article 4, of Title 1, of the Colorado Revised Statutes.

A minor political party maintains its status if:

• At least 1 of the minor political party's candidates for statewide office has received at least 1% of the total votes cast in any statewide office in either of the last 2 general elections; or
• 1,000 or more registered electors are affiliated with the minor political party prior to July 1st in either of the last 2 general elections for which the minor political party seeks to nominate candidates.

The other minor parties in Colorado are American Constitution Party, Approval Voting Party, Green Party of Colorado, the Libertarian Party of Colorado, the No Labels Colorado Party, and the Unity Party of Colorado. A full listing of political parties in Colorado is available at the Political Party Directory.
