Do you wonder how Colorado kept our recent elections safe and secure and do you worry about the security of future elections? Join the League of Women Voters of Estes Park on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at noon to hear award winning guest speakers Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Larimer County Clerk and Recorder Angela Myers. Our speakers will explain how they ensure that our votes are secure and verifiable, and what plans they have to improve voter confidence in future elections.

Secretary of State Griswold has led one of the largest voting reform packages in the nation, by expanding access to voter registration, increasing polling locations and voter drop boxes across Colorado. She is the youngest elected Secretary of State in the United States and the tenth woman to be elected to statewide office in Colorado’s history.

Larimer County Clerk Myers has been working to deliver accurate and verifiable elections for nearly eight years including two primary and general presidential elections. During that time she has modernized county records so that they are accurate, accessible and aligned with the needs of voters. This virtual event is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required.

This meeting is scheduled during Sunshine Week - a week that focuses on transparency in government. Our meeting will feature Jeffrey Roberts. Executive Director Jeffrey A. Roberts worked in journalism and public policy before coming to the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition in July 2013. Roberts is also a board member of the National Freedom of Information Coalition.

The South Larimer Discussion Group focuses on issues important to the League and of particular interest to our members who live in Loveland, Berthoud, Johnstown and the surrounding areas.
